Midwest Assistance Program, Inc. (MAP) has been helping communities and tribal nations find solutions to their infrastructure and development needs through information, resource management, expertise, and technical assistance since 1979. MAP is governed by a nine member board of directors: six members from MAP’s participating states and three at large. MAP is a member of the Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP) network. RCAP works to revitalize communities through its six regional partners and nearly 200 rural development specialists at the state and local levels in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The majority of these communities, which are typically economically disadvantages, have fewer than 2,500 residents. MAP provides solutions to more than 400 communities and tribal nations each year in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Through individualized support from staff, residents find the solutions that will help revitalize their communities. MAP’s staff lives in the communities served by the organization and have a deep commitment to the strength, future, and vitality of rural America.
