Wisconsin's Rural Policy Institute

Our vision is of a thriving and resilient rural Wisconsin, where all communities have access to the resources, opportunities, and policies needed to flourish. We aspire to be a leading catalyst for positive change in our state's rural areas, serving as a trusted source of knowledge, innovative solutions, and a bridge between local communities and policymakers. Through evidence-based research, collaboration, and advocacy education, we aim to create a future where rural Wisconsin stands as a model for sustainable development, growth, and a high quality of life for all its residents.
