Rural Works

RuralWorks Partners is a co-creation of Conduit Capital U.S. and Community Reinvestment Fund, USA to fill a significant capital gap in rural America — where traditional investors rarely deploy growth capital, despite the critical role of rural businesses in local economies and climate resilience.

 

At its core, RuralWorks activates private capital toward scalable impact solutions by investing in growth-stage companies that:

• Operate primarily in rural regions or benefit rural populations, expanding economic opportunity where it’s most needed. 

• Advance durable environmental and community outcomes — such as sustainable agriculture, climate-smart food systems, circular economy models, and quality job creation.

• Deliver integrated capital and advisory support to businesses that are cash-flow positive and poised for growth, using flexible instruments like equity, mezzanine debt, and revenue-based financing.

​

By partnering to launch RuralWorks, Conduit leverages its ecosystem, impact-focused investment expertise, and collaborative networks to help drive economic resilience, community wealth, and environmental sustainability across underserved rural markets — demonstrating how purpose and performance can coexist at scale.
