FRL announces wind-down of its operations
Dear Friends, Colleagues, Community and Funding Partners, and Rural Stakeholders:
For over the past 12 months, the Foundation for Rural Living (FRL) has been engaged in a comprehensive strategic planning process. This process has involved outreach to key stakeholders through surveys, key informant interviews (Nov 2010 to Jan 2011), and a key stakeholder meeting (May 2011).
And it is through this process and after much dialogue and thoughtful deliberation that we are writing to let you to know that FRL will be divesting itself of all program delivery effective Friday, February 3, 2012. Shortly thereafter we will be voluntarily revoking our charitable status and closing down FRL.
Collaboration and Partnership
FRL collaborates with organizations and individuals who exemplify our core values of integrity, philanthropy, partnership, citizenship, empowerment, fairness, and a demonstrated commitment to advancing the nonprofit sector.
