Vibrant Capital
Partners for Rural Washington works with rural communities to develop their capacity to create a prosperous and sustainable future. |
Washington state is extraordinarily blessed with an abundance of natural capital, a diversified economy, community-minded citizenry and a plethora of economic development programs driven by the state, federal programs and NGOs. However, with all that going for us, the benefits are not positively impacting all citizens. Many of our rural areas have high unemployment and stagnant or declining economies.
Partners for Rural Washington starts by asking, “What’s not working and why?” We help aggregate resources, facilitate sound policy and collaborate with rural communities to help them thrive in the 21st century. By doing so we enhance the resilience and competitiveness of our state to the benefit of all its residents. |
