New Rural Project
Company Overview
New Rural Project (NRP) is a non-partisan organization that engages young and marginalized residents in rural
communities to amplify their voices through increased civic and electoral engagement. NRP works to eliminate barriers
to engagement by listening to rural stakeholders and working together to develop community-driven solutions.
NRP was co-founded by two former NC 2020 candidates. Both ran for office in rural North Carolina and saw that
large numbers of registered and unregistered voters in rural communities simply did not vote. Recognizing the significant
impact of this on improving lives through the electoral process, they decided to tackle this issue head on. At the core of the
New Rural Project is the belief that democracy thrives when citizens exercise their civic rights to the fullest possible extent.
Such a democracy would see a maximal turnout of voters in every demographic group in every election
