| ABOUT US |
| Rural Nevada Development Corporation |
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
participating in small business, lending and housing services consist of the following: HUD, USDA Rural 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 –

Our Experience
Originally designed to offer business finance and community housing development services, RNDC has provided and expanded
these services while working to identify the most feasible economic development activities in each community. Its mission
statement reflects its primary purpose of providing economic development assistance, financing opportunities to small
businesses, and health, safe, affordable housing to persons in Rural Nevada. Specific emphasis has been and will continue to be
on promoting the growth and development of business concerns, addressing the need for affordable housing, as well as,
assisting rural communities and Native American Tribes with their development needs.

and have a two (2) year commitment to the organization. The Executive Committee is made up of four (4) members who all have a
wide range of experience and professional capacity as well as community involvement. These members are actively involved in
monitoring organizational activities and are the primary decision makers on all issues concerning the organization. The Personnel
Committee is made up of five (5) members overseeing policies and procedures regarding personnel. The Housing Committee
