Our Services
Grant Writing & Award Management
Our team provides comprehensive, end-to-end support to move your project from idea to implementation. We help you shape strong project concepts, develop competitive funding strategies, and navigate complex grant requirements with clarity and confidence. From writing and submitting proposals to managing awards and reporting, we ensure that every stage is aligned with your goals and compliant with funder expectations. We also build long-term organizational capacity through training, technical assistance, and hands-on coaching, empowering your staff to sustain success beyond any single grant cycle.
Grant Program Design & Management
Our team supports the creation and refinement of grant funding programs, ensuring that every stage—from strategic design to application review—is efficient, transparent, and inclusive. We help agencies define priorities, establish timelines and evaluation criteria, and develop accessible application materials and outreach strategies. Our services include selecting and implementing grants management systems that streamline operations, as well as providing training for prospective grantees and review committee members so all participants can engage confidently in the process.
Tailored Technical Assistance
Our team has developed a technical assistance model that delivers exceptional value — turning each dollar invested in community-focused technical assistance into a 25x return in grants secured by rural communities. We partner with agencies to design tailored technical assistance programs that expand access to complex funding opportunities, increase uptake of grant programs, and strengthen applicant readiness. Our approach integrates systematized pre-development support with a network of vetted technical partners—such as engineers, planners, and other specialists—who help communities develop strong, competitive, and fundable projects aligned with agency priorities.
Rural Broadband
Our team has developed and implemented a scalable broadband technical assistance model in partnership with USDA Rural Development to expand broadband access in rural and underserved communities. The model supports both Internet Service Providers and local communities by strengthening project readiness through structured pre-development support, advising, and hands-on technical assistance, while connecting partners to vetted experts and reducing financial barriers to application. To date, this approach has helped secure nearly $40 million in broadband funding in Oregon, supporting projects that are connecting thousands of homes and businesses and ensuring public dollars translate into deployable, high-impact infrastructure. This program is ongoing, and interested communities, providers, and partners in Oregon are encouraged to contact us to learn more

Sector-specific Initiatives
Access to broadband is one of the defining issues of our generation, and rural communities have an opportunity to secure millions of dollars to help connect their residents and businesses. But securing that funding can be challenging. Rural Prosperity Partners leads several initiatives across the State of Oregon to make sure rural communities get connected so they can take advantage of the digital economy, telehealth, distance learning and more. If your community needs support in getting your residents and businesses connected, please reach out to us today.
Rural communities and Tribal Nations across the U.S., including in Oregon, are experiencing unprecedented opportunities for federal funding. Record levels of investment in broadband buildout are being made through NTIA and USDA Rural Development. In response, Rural Prosperity Partners is working with USDA Rural Development’s Rural Utilities Service to launch Oregon’s first Rural Broadband Technical Assistance Program. The program is launching with a generous contribution $500,000 from USDA Rural Development, and $85,000 from the Roadhouse Foundation. The goal of this program is to provide communities and ISPs throughout rural Oregon, and Tribal Nations with the resources they need to capitalize on historic broadband investments; build long-term capacity and expertise in rural and Tribal communities; and create a pipeline of grant-ready projects to compete for future funding opportunities.
Broadband action teams are a collaboration between public, private and nonprofit stakeholders who come together to address the broadband gaps in their communities. Broadband Action Teams (BATs) help educate stakeholders on regional challenges, cultivate public-private partnerships, identify potential projects, and position communities to be competitive and secure broadband funding. Our team currently leads BATs for the Linn, Benton, Lincoln and Lane Region, Josephine County, Harney County, and previously for Deschutes County.
Rural Prosperity Partners leads the state-wide group of Broadband Action Team leaders across the state. Through peer networking, we share the best practices and innovative solutions being employed in communities across the state. We provide information to our State Broadband Office so that communities, particularly those who have been historically marginalized or underserved, are heard.
Rural Prosperity Partners led the coalition of partners behind the Faster Internet Oregon Initiative, on behalf of Link Oregon. Faster Internet Oregon was a grassroots initiative aimed at gathering and maping actual home Internet speeds across Oregon in order to identify communities where internet access was inadequate, unavailable, or unaffordable.
