The Rural Grant Reports Corpus

Every year, foundations, federal agencies and intermediaries fund thousands of projects across rural America. The reports that come back — grantee final reports, program evaluations, learning and impact studies — are the field's institutional memory: what was tried, what held, what failed, and what it taught. GroundWork gathers that record into one place, built to be read, collected, and analyzed.

For researchers

Find what's been reported

Search and filter the corpus by theme, funder, year and type. Every record links to its original source, with verification noted.

For non-profits

Shape your strategy

Study what funders actually funded — and what their evaluations concluded — before you write yours. Collect what matches your work and export a briefing.

For funders & policy

See across domains

Fifteen field syntheses distill the patterns, and the tool drafts a cross-cutting analysis of any collection you gather.
