Rural Trust Named One of Worth Magazine's 100 Best Charities  
The Rural School and Community Trust has been named one of Worth magazine's 100 Best Charities in the December 2002 issue of the magazine. The Rural Trust has the distinction of being the only rural education group selected by the magazine in the article "To Give Well, To Give Wisely," which names the 100 top charities in the U.S.
"We are very pleased to be named one of the best managed, most focused, and wisest places for donors to invest their money," said Rachel Tompkins, president of the Rural Trust. The Rural Trust, along with hundreds of other organizations went through a rigorous application process. Charities that were selected are considered to have the "greatest impact in the field" and "wisest use of donor dollars." Worth selected charities in six categories: health, human services, environment, education, relief/development, and arts/culture. To apply, the Rural Trust had to provide a detailed description of its work, financial statements for the past three years and supporting materials including newsletters, policy reports, and the biennial Why Rural Matters. The honor of being listed as one of the top charities in Worth magazine in immeasurable -- the publication reaches more than 500,000 people, which will surely get the word out about the value of place-based learning and the Rural Trust's work improve education by connecting schools and communities.
