Get Organized, Get Involved
The grant program is designed to accomplish specific learning, participation, and achievement goals.  Big or small ORRC may be able to assist your club with a matching funds grant.   Beautification projects by school and civic organizations display positive camaraderie in your community.  This goes a long way in the encouragement of people to stay and come live in your rural community.

​The Grant program originated in 1977. Since then, we have funded over 2100 projects in excess of $2,000,000. Grant funds are intended to further the economic development of agriculture/agribusiness and natural resources in local communities of less than 20,000 population.  Group members will acquire knowledge and skills in community leadership.
