Over the past few years we have had support on many levels to keep our program moving forward. Some folks volunteered time. Others contributed projects or gear. Several kind souls recommended us for grants – some came through. And others just gave us sound advice and encouraged us to never give up. We are proud to list the following folks as “Friends of the Rural Design Collective”.

The “Friends of the RDC” are hexidecimally classified based on their current color palette (because it was a heckuva lot more fun than doing it alphabetically) and loosely grouped according to color.
