The RANGE Community Foundation exists to strengthen rural communities and the American West through education, independent journalism, and the preservation of working-land culture.

The Foundation supports and advances public-interest reporting, long-form storytelling, and educational initiatives that promote civic understanding, historical awareness, and informed public discourse. Through grants, publications, partnerships, and community programs, the Foundation works to ensure that accurate, firsthand reporting from rural and natural-resource-based communities remains accessible to the public.

The Foundation may publish books and educational materials; distribute magazines, books, and reporting resources to schools, libraries, medical offices, and public officials; and support investigative, cultural, and historical journalism projects that serve the public good. It may host annual gatherings, forums, and educational events designed to foster dialogue, strengthen community ties, and elevate understanding of land stewardship, agriculture, natural resources, and rural civic life.

By increasing access to credible information and preserving the stories of those who live and work on the land, the Foundation aims to promote transparency, accountability, and long-term community resilience.

The RANGE Community Foundation operates exclusively for charitable and educational purposes and is committed to responsible stewardship, nonpartisan engagement, and the enduring value of independent journalism.
