Mission

The Southern Rural Development Initiative (SRDI) works with local partners to increase income, individual and community assets, and racial equity in low-wealth regions of the South. We support rural leaders to grow sustainable economies rooted in local culture, a healthy environment, and inclusive values.

We strengthen the power of our constituency to shift policy, practice democratic and inclusive philanthropy, and model economic development in ways that effectively use local assets to solve rural poverty and inequality.
