A Fed Communities profile of Blossom Johnston spotlights how rural leaders strengthen entire regions by building organizational capacity. As founder of Idaho Partners for Good and a leader with the Idaho Rural Partnership, Johnston mentors nonprofits to develop long-term strategies, leadership skills, and operational stability. Her work—helping rural organizations clarify goals, access resources, and strengthen their performance—parallels Aspen CSG’s focus on Rural Development Hubs: investing in local capacity so communities can take charge of their own futures. Johnston’s message is clear: rural communities are innovative and resilient, and empowering them today will shape what they look like 20 to 50 years from now.
