Charlie Brown: Don’t Run from the Mess
<p>When people don’t know where to begin when it comes to funding rural America, collaborative funds are a great way to start. Charlie Brown is the executive director of the Trust for Civic Life, which is an example of one of those funds. They’re made up of 20 different funders from across the country all working together to empower people to get involved in shaping the future of their communities and everyday democracy. They prioritize listening and learning instead of coming in with a top-down approach.</p>

Derek Burkhardt & Allison Rayburn: Rural Fire Protection Agencies
<p>Funding for disaster response is much needed in the American West where vast rangeland ignites quickly under dry conditions. In Eastern Oregon, innovative Rangeland Fire Protection Associations (RFPAs) bring together local ranchers and state resources to work collaboratively when fires break out. Derek Burkhardt is a 4th generation rancher and farmer from Vale, Oregon who is in a leadership role with his two local RFPAs, and Allison Rayburn is the Oregon Dept of Forestry’s Rangeland Fire Program Coordinator. They share their motivations, recent firefighting experiences, and wish lists.</p>

Kimberly Lindsay: I can lend a hand; I can volunteer; I can be available
<p>Meeting the mental and behavioral health needs of rural communities, where people are dispersed and remarkably self-reliant, can be a challenge for a variety of different reasons. In Northeast Oregon, Community Counseling Solutions serves an area of more than 60,000 square miles, in which just 100,000 people reside—the sheer distance can stretch resources thin. Kimberly Lindsay is their director and she cofounded the David Romprey Oregon Warm Line in Oregon, which unlike a hotline for an immediate crisis, warm lines provide early mental health intervention with a confidential free phone service. If you or someone you know is just wanting to connect, call 800-698-2392.</p>
