Our Focus

Well-being definition

Our definition for well-being is broad, and that’s on purpose. Pilot opportunities target the needs of rural communities related to mental and physical health, connectivity, and social infrastructure.

Criteria for Pilot Selection:

  1. Technology-enabled innovation

    Human capital and resources are limited in rural communities. Technology must play a central role in how we solve problems.

  2. Measurable impacts to rural well-being

    Data is at the heart of our work, seeking meaningful outcomes that benefit our communities.

  3. Scalable in rural markets

    A primary objective for AscendRural is to support the scale and reach of solutions across the country.
