The Ford Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation stand out as the largest rural development grantmakers for the five-year period 2004-08. And as the listing (at right) shows, there are other noteworthy funders.

TVA is in line with our core goals, and already funds Nolichucky. Though they probably won't fund the entire team, a good resource for sites within the Tennessee Valley.
