FOR RURAL AMERICA
ARI’s Pillars of
Community Vitality
COMMUNITY
Community
ARI identifies solutions to turn plans into reality in a holistic fashion. Focusing on community equity, our model of Assess, Implement, and Sustain answers four questions:
- What should we do?
- Where do we find the resources?
- How do we get it done?
- How do we sustain progress?
ARI works to ensure that community and economic development achieves its true purpose, which is, to create vibrant, healthy communities for all.
CAPITAL
Capital
ARI’s mission-driven Rural Impact Fund supports critical efforts that foster economic development, spur, catalyze, unlock community transformation, and unlock capital for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
COMPETITION
Community
ARI aims to offer better opportunities to compete and prosper in the global market through workforce development efforts that:
- Ensure workers and learners have support systems in place that allow for the access to earn skills and credentials
- Partner with community stakeholders, local educational institutions and industry to provide resources and technical assistance that allow opportunities for employment, entrepreneurship, and business ownership
- Spur quality-of-life initiatives for residents and workers that sustain the next generation and attract lost populations back to their roots
- Provide outreach, advocacy, and support for entrepreneurial ecosystem development and engagement
