Program accomplishments
- ND REC Foundation provides training and technical assistance to sustain quality of life for rural people and businesses at no charge to the individuals or businesses. The focus of the technical assistance recently is around food access in rural communities. ND REC Foundation was a subawardee for a USDA Regional Food Business Center 5-year grant with Region Five Development Commission. Purpose of the grant was to pay for employees' time to provide direct technical assistance to small-and-mid-sized food and farm businesses by partnering with other organizations in the region to develop a statewide action plan that will be aggregated with other regional state plans to find common goals and objectives to help with local and statewide objectives. (Continued on Schedule O)The work on this grant ended in early 2025 after the administration change determined the grant not in alignment with their priorities. ND REC Foundation was also awarded a Local Foods Promotion Program 3-year grant from USDA Agricultural Marketing Service to assist with providing technical assistance around local food aggregation and redistribution in a region within North Dakota and how this might help to reduce costs, increase local producers marketing reach and provide rural communities more access to fresh, local foods. The work on this grant in 2025 consisted of working with the various subcommittees to determine their needs out of the project, working with an architect to determine a possible layout for a building, and meeting with similar organizations to learn from them. ND REC Foundation was also awarded a grant from ND Department of Commerce to support a lineworker and electrical summer camp for high school students from around the state to help increase interest and awareness around these trades. The work on this grant in 2025 consisted of creating the itinerary, coordinating housing, transportation and meals for the students, and providing the administration of the grant. ND REC Foundation was awarded a Rural Food Sustainability grant from ND Department of Commerce to provide technical assistance to rural grocery stores in ND.Expenses $180,646
