We’ll help approach planning with the training-wheels on and a support system in place to catch you.

Business Oregon Opens Grant Program to Support Rural Communities: Last week, Business Oregon announced a Request for Grant Applications (RFGA) for the 2023-2025 Rural Opportunity Initiative (ROI) Grant Program. ROI is an investment in the vision and proficiency of rural communities and aligns with Business Oregon’s strategic plan to grow local businesses, cultivate rural economic stability, and champion opportunities for underrepresented Oregonians. The Oregon Legislature has allocated $2 million to the ROI Grant Program for the current biennium. Small businesses and entrepreneurs drive rural economies and are a major source of growth opportunity. In addition to supporting entrepreneurship and small business growth, ROI's emphasis on cultivating a healthy ecosystem helps build resiliency and makes businesses more likely to survive a crisis by having access to a full complement of resources. By focusing on ecosystem development, ROI helps entrepreneurs thrive in the good times and recover after disruptions. This RFGA will close on October 27, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. PDT. An evaluation committee comprised of internal and external stakeholders will review applications and make funding recommendations with Notices of Intent to Award expected
