DONATE TODAY
Dear friend,
Part of my job as Director of Rural Assembly, is keeping a steady finger on the pulse of rural America – joys and woes alike. So much of what we do in terms of programming, convenings, and storytelling is guided by what is top of mind for rural people. A tool and resource that I rely on to know where to set our priorities is the Daily Yonder.
I can trust that if I see a rural concern reported on in the Yonder, it’s not an anomaly or clickbait. More than likely, it’s a national trend that can be felt across multiple communities and regions.
This year, Rural Assembly held quarterly programs directed at rebuilding rural community agency. Some were created in conjunction with our colleagues at the Yonder, building on their reporting themes for the year including the impact of data centers and the present and future of rural healthcare systems.

This partnership is critical to our work in that it puts deeply researched information at the heart of our programming. In turn, we empower rural people with tools, knowledge, and skills that they can use in their own work, leading to tangible steps towards positive change.
Donating to the Daily Yonder means supporting more than just a news article, it means supporting the building blocks of information that rural people need to move towards positive futures for themselves and their communities.
I hope you’ll join me in donating to the Yonder. Thanks to generous matching funds, from now until the end of the year every donation you make will be matched. There is no better time to support the coverage rural people and places need more than ever.
Sincerely,
Madeline MatsonDirector, Rural Assembly
