Request for Grant Proposals for Rural Opportunity Initiative Grant Program
Business Oregon has an open Request for Grant Proposals (RFGP) for the 2021-2023 Rural Opportunity Initiative (ROI) grant program. ROI is an initiative that works with rural communities to create environments that support entrepreneurs and small businesses. The RFGP opened in August and will close on September 20.
ROI is designed to be inclusive and community driven. The program empowers local leaders to define and implement collaborative strategies that elevate the role of entrepreneurship in rural economic development work. It is ultimately about enabling entrepreneurs to create rural businesses that in turn bolster rural economies. The program provides financial support, innovative partnerships, network expansion, and access to business development resources to successful applicants. Grants are available for communities in different stages of building an entrepreneurial ecosystem. It can help communities get started, and help communities that are farther along scale what they’ve already built.
