Historical Note
The Partnership for Rural Improvement (PRI) was established in 1976 with support from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. It was formed as a consortium of educational institutions, public service agencies and citizens to act as a catalyst for community improvement. Its objectives include 1)identifying rural planning development goals, and 2) providing a mechanism and a process for linking citizen-defined goals with institutional and agency capacities for assisting communities in reaching those goals.
PRI is headquartered at Washington State University. Since its establishment, the PRI has involved itself in such programs as assistance to pregnant and parent teens, task forces on rural crime, rural transportation, and railroad abandonment. Records cover the period from 1972 to 1986.
