New fellowship program places strategic talent in rural serving communities Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation
“The expertise and lived experience of our Rural Philanthropy Fellows will be vital as we seek to expand our reach and deepen our impact in the rural communities throughout our seven county-service area,” says Sarah Baltman Wedepohl, vice president of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan.
“The barriers and opportunities that rural communities experience often mirror those in suburban and urban areas but may require different approaches. We’re grateful that fellows Garit Frye and Joe Newman can help us align our rural philanthropy strategy to best fit these unique needs. Together, with support from the Wilson Foundation, we’re imagining a future for our region when everyone can thrive, regardless of where they live.”
