The USDA Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG) is open;
applications are due August 6. The primary objective of the RBOG program is to
promote sustainable economic development in rural communities with exceptional
needs. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis. Though grant awards are
limited to $50,000 increments out of a total pool of $2.37 million, that amount
can still go far and have a large impact for a rural community. Eligible
entities include: public entities; nonprofit corporations; Indian tribes;
institutions of higher education; and rural cooperatives. More information and instruction on applying
is available HERE.
