Details:

Aligning with IFB policy and local government priorities, the program strives to elevate and provide additional focus on rural development. It will provide resources, tools, and support to help local communities and counties overcome challenges inherent in rural development projects, such as lack of funding and volunteers, complicated grant applications and others.

IFB is looking for projects that will meet an economic development or quality of life need in a community, county or rural area, and get residents excited about what is happening in their community. Examples could include projects that:

Focus on attracting businesses
Foster entrepreneurship
Improve infrastructure and broadband
Increase healthcare access
Building/creating capacity for local newspapers/news sources
Expand recreational opportunities
Increase available housing
Develop tourism
Beautify communities
Revitalize community spirit or engagement
Enhance emergency services support (fire, emergency medical services, police)
Otherwise positively impact farmers and rural Illinoisans

Funding Information

IFB will award a total of $100,000 for rural development grants, an increase of $70,000 from last year’s pilot program.

Criteria

The rural development grants are open to county Farm Bureaus, units of local government, economic development organizations, non-profits and/or community groups, and small businesses. These are the most common applicants, although others may be considered based on the proposed project.
You must be located in Illinois in order to apply for a grant through this program.
