We don’t know all the answers. But we’re committed to helping you find them.

TRF provides funding for cross-cutting issues that have a broad impact for rural communities across the state, TRF selects priority signature issues that meet a deliberate criteria. We seek issues that:

o    result from or produce authentic rural community engagement,

o    directly address rural community-identified priorities,

o    can only be done collectively or be significantly improved with a collective approach,

o    offer the potential to be replicated in other parts of rural Texas (if geographically limited), and

o    leverage policy partnerships being forged by TRF.
