Initiative for Rural Innovation & Stewardship

Founded in 2002, the Initiative for Rural Innovation & Stewardship (IRIS) fosters sustainable rural communities by connecting people, place and possibility. We strive to build a community in which all voices can be heard and all contributions to lasting stewardship are honored. We see a vibrant community that appreciates the connections between the past, present and future and that innovates and adapts to change. Gathering, preserving and creating stories is central to the IRIS approach and is used as a community-building strategy across all IRIS programs and activities.
