Rural & Urban Bridging for Impact: In-Person Network Conversation

Join us for an in-person RUBI Network peer conversation. Agenda and details coming soon.

Do you have a suggestion for a future RUBI network meeting? Send ideas to Dave Anderson, [email protected]. RUBI network events are open to all MCF members who are interested in topics of rural and urban bridging. If you are interested in learning more about the Rural Urban Bridging for Impact network, please check out the RUBI Resources page on the MCF website. 

RUBI Background:
Beginning in mid-2023, MCF convened a group of 19 MCF members as a steering committee to launch the Rural Urban Bridging for Impact (RUBI) initiative to explore philanthropy's role in bridging the rural and urban contexts. RUBI’s long-term vision is for all Minnesotans across our broad geographies, differing identities, and rich cultural histories to experience a sense of belonging and interdependence.

In late-2024, RUBI expanded into a full MCF member network – allowing inclusion of all MCF members in this important work. (Read the progress report to learn more about the history of RUBI and the work going forward.)
