This is the Introduction from the publication
K e v - t 0 - 5 u c c e s s f u 1- Fun din g,
"Americans are rediscovering small town America. Surveys consistently find that three out of four city
dwellers would rather live in a small town, if they could find a good job or move their current business
to a small town setting. At the same time, young people and families who live in rural America are
anxious to stay where they are deeply rooted, even as farming, timber, mining and manufacturing
become less important as core industries in the rural economy. Not all small towns and rural areas
have experienced the benefits of this "Rural Renaissance" to the same degree. But virtually all local
governments are expected to provide more services and higher level services while relying on the
same limited sources for funding. The pressure for new and better services may come from rapid
growth, a changing economy, outdated infrastructure, the growing list of federal environmental
mandates andlor local concern with quality of life issues.
Perhaps rural leaders have not faced so many challenges since days of the Depression. Yet the
opportunities for elected officials to shape a community's future and to locate the resources to
achieve common goals have never been brighter. Keys to Successful Funding documents programs,
strategies and success stories that can help small town leaders bring the kind of change that make
communities better places to live, not just bigger or more prosperous places to live. It starts with the
premise that any successful effort to attract outside assistance (financial or technical) must be
grounded in "a community's idea of what it wants to be." Local governments have unique access to
the federal and foundation funding programs profiled in this guidebook. But the authors believe
strongly that communities should apply for grants and loans because they will serve long term, widely
supported community goals, not simply because they are available.
Seeking outside funding may be a new role for many, if not most, small town and rural leaders. Eighty
six percent of all local governments are less than 10, 000 in population and nearly half are less than
1,000 in population. The elected and appointed decision-makers that keep small towns going
generally serve on a volunteer or part-time basis. The traditions of home grown solutions for
homegrown problems and rigorously maintaining a tight and balanced local budget have often kept
small towns from competing as aggressively as they might for funding intended to address rural
problems. Keys to Successful Funding will make local leaders familiar with the playing field and rules
that apply to federal and foundation funding and will point the way for help when limitations on local
time and information require outside assistance.
Chapter I outlines the five keys to successful funding:
. planning
. eligibility
. afford ability
. fundability
. manageability
These elements must be addressed in some form or another in virtually all public and private source
grant and loan proposals. Understanding how these factors contribute to an effective, overall proposal
will help even the first time grant applicants think positively about their project and their community's
chance for success.
Chapter II features interview with the federal administrators of five major small town and rural
programs. The programs were chosen for their record of consistently providing communities under
25,000 with substantial dollars for meaningful projects. Most have been funded for a number of years,
have broad bi-partisan support in Congress and promise to remain a reliable source of small town
and rural funding in the foreseeable future. Without exception, the administration and staff of these
programs are committed to broad rural participation in their programs and have worked for years with
the National Center for Small Communities to improve the flow of information and level of technical
assistance for rural leaders. The Chapter, appropriately, is called, "The Buck Starts Here."
Chapter III, explores a funding strategy that may be new to even experienced grant seekers-
foundation funding for public sector purposes. In 1997, America's 42,000 foundations awarded over
$15.5 billion to private, public and individual beneficiaries. The amount represented a 12 percent
increase over the year before and seem certain to continue with the long term strength of the national
economy and the focus on distribution of individual and corporate wealth.
Successful projects should never be measured only by the amount or percentage of dollars obtained
from other sources. Most potential funders, in fact, look for an applicant to commit matching funds
that confirm the importance of the project and the support that it enjoys within the community.
Chapter IV examines options for the raising own source revenues that will be required to leverage
much of the private and public funds described in Keys. The chapter concludes with a review of a
broad range of resource materials and organizations that can provide low -cost or no-cost assistance
in writing your successful proposal and in managing a project once it has been awarded."
