Our Crowdfunding Groups
Send college students to the Texas Student Challenge! The Texas Student Challenge is a fast pitch business plan competition that focuses on business, economic, and community development in rural communities.
We need your support to help send seven students to the competition in Waco. Travel and lodging are going to be approximately $300 for each student. Your gift will allow students to attend this unique conference and pitch their business plans for a chance to win cash prizes to fund their idea.
The Texas Student Challenge is an opportunity to think of the needs and conditions of rural communities. Far too often, rural communities are overlooked and are overwhelmingly being affected by what is referred to as the “brain drain”. This is when local rural youth go on to college and do not come back home after college graduation.
In addition to competing for funding, students will attend presentations and workshops by top innovators and change agents in the field at the challenge. They will learn best practices, collaborate with others, and engage in ‘how-to’ learning experiences.
Thank you in advance for all your support and generosity!
