Rural Development Hubs in New York

Aspen CSG partners with Rural Development Hubs across the country to strengthen local leadership, align funding, and build regional capacity. Through research and peer learning, we support Hub leaders to refine strategies and apply what works across regions.

In New York, we work with Hub partners that coordinate across sectors, align resources, and connect communities to advance long-term regional strategies:

Adirondack Community Foundation

Adirondack Community Foundation is stewarding a new vision and a plan to connect residents. Acting as the connective tissue among neighbors, the Lake Placid, NY-based foundation is taking a thoughtful, community-centered approach to address economic distress, poverty, and displacement. In its 27-year history, the foundation has distributed more than $72 million back to the community to build new childcare, address domestic violence and homelessness, improve access to community college and trades programs, and supply food and fuel to households.
