Past Grants

NRFC funder partners were initially motivated by the glaring imbalance between urban and rural philanthropic contributions and by the intent of NRFC funders.

In the first five years of its work (July 2001 - June 2006), NRFC awarded $3,071,760 in single and multiple-year grants, ranging from $50,000 to $750,000, to 17 diverse initiatives in 15 states.
