Wealth Building in Rural America: Programs, Policies, Research

By CSD • June 1, 2006November 6, 2018

This is the third edited final report in a series of three reports that focus on wealth building in rural America. This report explores research on existing wealth building policies and programs in rural America and identifies approaches that are working well in some regions, perhaps providing models for other regions. Finally, the report makes recommendations for possible next steps in research and policy. It is divided into five sections: (1) Wealth building programs explores successful wealth building programs in rural areas; (2) State policies assesses wealth building policies in states with high rural populations; (3) Federal policies addresses federal initiatives in rural communities; (4) Policy advocacy focuses on the creation and promotion of federal and state wealth building legislation; and (5) Policy research and development discusses the roles of philanthropy and applied policy research in the development of wealth building projects in rural areas.
