The Western Rural + Plains States (WRAPS) Project works with grassroots organizations, elected officials, candidates, and other movers and shakers in the rural landscape to build strong organizing and enable a shift in power and representation at the local, state, and federal levels in 10 rural states: Alaska, Montana, Nebraska, Utah, Oklahoma, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, and Wyoming.

All contributions are re-granted to groups. The size and frequency of grants for each group are regularly assessed by MVP’s grant-making team and WRAPS advisors based on where additional funding is most needed.
