The toolkit includes six detailed modules that break down the process: creating a program, developing it, implementing it, evaluating its effectiveness, planning for long-term sustainability, and best practices. It also includes toolkits with more information on issues such as aging in place, HIV/AIDS, food access, and diabetes.
"The online toolkit was developed through the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy in partnership with the National Rural Health Association, who have convened an annual philanthropy meeting for the last five years, Bryce Oates reports for The Daily Yonder.
Research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service showed the need for such a toolkit, finding that, though rural people make up 19 percent of the population, rural-based organizations get only 5.5 percent of the real value of domestic grants from large foundations and a little more than 7 percent from smaller foundations. "On average, large foundations awarded $88 per person to nonmetro counties, almost half the average provided to organizations in metro counties, according to ERS," Bryce reports. "Rural grants were more likely to be awarded for higher education, the environment and outdoor recreation. Urban organizations, in contrast, received more grants for health, science, technology, arts, culture and humanities."
