Boosting Rural Texas
A statewide nonprofit wants to make sure rural communities don’t miss out on their share of the billions in federal dollars available for broadband, water and energy upgrades; transportation infrastructure; and other projects.
Texas Rural Funders works to connect communities with grant opportunities and grant writers to work through a process that is often overwhelming.
Our state is expected to receive about $2.5 billion for water infrastructure. As the state with the largest rural population, it also will receive billions in federal dollars in broadband infrastructure grants. In more than half of Texas counties, a majority of residents lacks access to high-speed internet.
