Overview

Mission

Improve the areas standards

What it reported doing in 2024

Rural development provides a program to help identify and coordinate local projects and activities to provide better utilization of existing government programs in meeting the needs of the eastern Arkansas delta area.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 92% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
