Texas Rural Communities, Inc. (TRC) makes a long-term commitment to assisting rural communities, individuals, groups and support organizations in creating, sustaining and enabling self-sufficient, viable rural development enterprises that improve or maintain the quality of rural life, through independent and cooperative ventures.

TRC will accomplish its goals by providing loan opportunities in rural areas for individuals or groups who have had difficulty accessing funding through other sources.
