2020 is the year we bridge the gap - for good.

In addition to current programs, we've started the grant writing process for major programs set to launch in early 2021. Check out our plans below!

Back to School Drive

July 1 - August 21, 2020 Closed

More than 9.3 million U.S. students attended school in a rural area last year. What's even more jarring is that rural youth academic performance is 60-100 points below the Common Core standard. Many schools in these areas are functioning without the necessary supplies like pens, paper and notebooks that would enable their teachers and students to succeed.

The Good Rural (Tax ID# 84-3572767) is hosting a virtual donation drive to send supplies to schools in the Butte, Shasta, Siskiyou and Yolo counties.
