The mission is aimed at ensuring a strong future in rural America, specifically within Compeer's 144-county territory across Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. This is achieved by facilitating economic development and improving community assets through funding feasibility studies.
The Community Building Grant Program focuses on funding construction or renovation projects that serve as communal spaces or educational venues, with a special emphasis on agriculture. Grants range from $2,500 to $10,000 per project. Funding may cover only part of a project's cost and is not allocated to repay debts. Early-stage projects can secure a commitment, with funds disbursed at the project's groundbreaking.
