THE Rural Woman Co-op: Fund Survey

Launched in 2014, THE Rural Woman is now a leading online community of rural women passionate about changing the world, right from their rural location. THE Rural Woman is for any rural woman who wants to THRIVE in her rural location and has the desire to be part of a supportive community of like-minded women to connect and collaborate with, learn from and be supported by!

We are currently transitioning THE Rural Woman to a co-operative structure which is run by its members, which is very exciting! THE Rural Woman Co-op will continue to connect rural women and support their wellbeing and agency through networking, mentoring and training.
In addition, we’re exploring options to set up a Fund that will financially support the economic agency and advancement of rural women!

This will be a fund from which members can apply to access funds when they need them (even if they have been rejected by their bank), and to which members and non members can invest in, to yield a return AND support the amazing capacity of other rural women. We’d love it if you could answer some questions so we can better understand if these services would be valuable to you!

The survey is for EVERYONE (men and women, urban and rural) and will take about 10 minutes to complete - but that investment in time could yield rural women, their families and communities, so many leaps towards economic security into the future it will be worth it - dare I say, worth millions of dollars and trillions generationally?!
