CCD Business Development has partnered with Business Oregon to administer a limited amount of funding for a new $3 Million Small Business and Microenterprise Grant Program.

The program is designed to help those affected by closures and impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic starting in March of 2020. Those seeking assistance must have been in business prior to March of 2019.

Help is available for businesses which employ low to moderate income individuals.

Grants between $2,500 and $30,000 per business are available. These funds may be used to offset expenses incurred from the crisis, or to pay for operating expenses incurred while revenue was compromised.

A number of documents are required as part of the application process.

Applications will only be accepted between January 23rd and 27th. They can only be accepted through an online portal. It can be accessed at www.ccdbusiness.org/oregonsbma.
