Partner News: Grant Applications Open to Support Oregon’s Technical Assistance Providers

Small Business Technical Assistance Program

The state of Oregon applied for federal funds to bolster existing small business financing programs, as well as create new programs to provide and support access to capital for new and growing Oregon businesses. The U.S. Treasury announced in August 2022 that Oregon’s application was approved, and the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) will steer $83.5 million into Oregon.

Business Oregon has issued a Request for Grant Applications (RFGA) to eligible organizations that provide legal, financial, and accounting technical assistance to businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals (SEDI) and very small businesses (VSB) seeking to secure funding from the agency’s State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) programs. Approximately $2,200,000 in grant funding will be available for technical assistance grants through the SSBCI technical assistance program.
