Dear Friends of the Center for Rural Policy and Development:

In 1997 a group of rural Minnesota advocates came together around a bold idea: to create a rural policy think tank that would provide policymakers, rural advocates and concerned citizens an objective, unbiased and politically “unspun” examination of contemporary rural issues. I am pleased to tell you that today the Center for Rural Policy and Development continues to thrive and is now recognized as a leading resource for rural policy research and development.

However, we are only able to maintain and grow this important resource and voice for rural Minnesota through the support of friends like you. Please consider becoming a member of the Center for Rural Policy and Development. As a member you will receive all of our reports and policy briefs, receive our quarterly newsletter and have early access to our policy forums and events. But most importantly, you will be helping to build a growing alliance of individuals and organizations voicing their support for rural Minnesota’s future.

With much thanks,

Brad Finstad, Executive Director
Center for Rural Policy and Development
