Business Oregon Rural Opportunities Initiatives Grants Now Open

Business Oregon has opened their Rural Opportunity Initiative (ROI) Grant cycle! For full details, visit their website, https://www.oregon4biz.com/Innovate-&-Create/ROI/2019-Application-Period.php. The Oregon State Legislature has allocated $750,000 to ROI for the 2019-2021 biennium. See 2017-2019 Communities here. 

 

About the Rural Opportunity Initiative Grant:

At its core, the Rural Opportunity Initiative helps communities create environments conducive to small business success, including dismantling barriers that inhibit full participation in entrepreneurial pursuits among rural residents, and ensuring equitable access to the full ecosystem. Business Oregon funding is premised on the ability of communities to develop and execute plans to support entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial resource providers and communities will be evaluated in accordance with their progress. 

 

ROI applicants must complete the work plan and submit it along with the other components of their application. Successful applicants will work with Business Oregon staff and a professional consultant during the preliminary stages of the project to refine their work plans to maximize project outcomes. All tasks are to be completed prior to June 30, 2021. 


Application timeline, materials and eligibility requirements can be found on the Business Oregon Website, https://www.oregon4biz.com/Innovate-&-Create/ROI/2019-Application-Period.php.
