Let’s Talk Equity: Rural Equity and Access

Description

On the March 5 call: Join Robin Gabbard, President, and Donna Daniels, Chief Program Officer of the Mountain Association, for a conversation on rural equity and access to capital in Appalachian Kentucky. They’ll share how equitable financing and community investment fuel small business growth, strengthen local ownership, and build more resilient communities. Using real examples from across Eastern Kentucky, this session will highlight practical ways nonprofits can play a powerful role in advancing equity — whether by lifting up local entrepreneurs, partnering on community‑driven projects, or helping shape more inclusive local economies. Nonprofit leaders will leave with fresh insight, concrete ideas, and a renewed sense of what’s possible when we invest in the people and places we call home.
