Make a Difference
The Foundation for Rural Service is rural at heart. As the philanthropic arm of NTCA—The Rural Broadband Association, we’re your foundation, devoted to rural communities and those who live in them. We know NTCA members share this passion and that’s why we love working together. By partnering we can accomplish more, generating greater results for the communities we both serve.

Each year, our Scholarships assist high school graduates attending college or technical school, our annual Youth Tour brings teens to Washington, DC to learn about our nation’s capital, and the Community Grant Program helps support nonprofit organizations doing important work in your service area. These important FRS activities and other FRS programs wouldn’t be possible without your support so please make a tax-deductible gift today.

Thank you for all the ways you partner with the Foundation for Rural Service.
