| ABOUT US |
The Rural Nevada Development Corporation (RNDC) is a 501(C) 3 non-profit development corporation
formed in January 1992 to serve the fifteen (15) rural counties, rural Clark and Washoe counties, and the
twenty-seven (27) Native American tribes of Nevada. RNDC has been responsive to the needs of rural
communities by addressing critical issues such as affordable housing, down payment assistance,
homeowner rehabilitation and small business alternative lending practices and has received certification
from the Department of Treasury as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). Its ability to
leverage involvement statewide from public and private sources has been successful. In 1999, RNDC
business-lending program won a “Best Practice” award from HUD for its creativity in addressing a
problem, and effectively leveraging resources. Collaboration among state, federal, local governments,
private, and other non-profit organizations is the primary reason RNDC has been successful. Partners

Development, SBA-SCORE Program, Economic Development Administration, Nevada Commission on
Economic Development, Nevada Department of Vocational Rehabilitation, University Of Nevada Las
Vegas, Division of Environmental Protection, University of Nevada, Reno – Small Business Development
