Creating Pathways

to Rural Prosperity

Partners for Rural Transformation (PRT) is a coalition of six community organizations working to launch economic development innovations to deploy capital and solutions in rural America at scale across the country. 

We serve 78% of rural persistent poverty counties, ensuring expansive impact from singular investments. We are a collaboration of trusted, on-the-ground rural experts who live in and serve the Mississippi Delta, Appalachia, Native American Communities, the Deep South, the Rio Grande Valley, and farming regions in the Rural West.

Our Promise

As PRT and our collective efforts continue to develop, we seek to multiply our successes through new goals: Unlocking and Influencing Resources, Improving and Innovating Systems, and Delivering Community Impact
