Texas Rural Funders is the leading membership organization for philanthropy dedicated to rural Texas and a trusted partner and connector for rural communities.
Our Members
An Introduction
Texas Rural Funders is a diverse coalition of more than 40 foundations and organizations working with rural communities to develop and implement solutions to their unique needs.
Some members are small and place-based; some are large and national in scale. We are united in our interest in increasing attention, resources, and collaborative action that strengthens rural Texas.
By working together through Texas Rural Funders, we combine our experience, resources and influence to create a bigger, more systemic impact than any single organization could make alone.

What do you value most about TRF membership?
The ability to discuss rural issues with like-minded funders in a collaborative fashion—as opposed to everyone doing their own thing. Also, the ability to raise awareness around specific issues, such as broadband. I appreciate working closely with foundations who focus on different issue areas—brings a new set of partners to our work and we get a more holistic view of rural Texas.
