Programs
Comprised a working group of professionals, reponssible for producing a concept that was designed to repurpose a local energy asset. The team worked with the owners of reclaimed mine lands. By working with the local owners, managers of local powder metal companies and local carbon companies, we wre able to identify a supply chain that could use reclaimed mine lands. We also identify a potential reuse of reclaimed or abandoned mine lands, to simultaneously clean the water contaminated by acid mine drainage, and were able to produce hydrogen (a critical feedstock need for local powder metal plants). Our concept was embraced by the department of energy and our team was asked to speak to the interagency working group in washington, dc in july 2024.

We help develop a master site plan for 28 acres of riverfront. The borough of ridgway wanted to develop a plan that would include public recreational spaces including public access to the clarion river (a congressionally designated wild & scenic river) and other recreational facilities: however the plan was also to assess other compatible uses of the riverfront. The borough of ridgway asked us to facilitate and manage the project. We hired a contractor, landscape engineer and architects to complete the project which was done and finalized by august 2024

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of GROW RURAL PA INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of GROW RURAL PA INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $27k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
