Grant SpotlightUSDA Rural Development Announces Rural Business Enterprise (RBEG) Grant Writing Workshops Carson City, NV – December 5, 2008– Larry Smith, State Director for USDA Rural Development announced today community workshop schedules for Rural Business Enterprise Grants (RBEG). Rural Business Enterprise Grants are available to eligible public bodies, private nonprofit corporations, and federally recognized Indian Tribal Groups to finance and facilitate development of small and emerging private business enterprises, (a private business which will provide or save 50 or less jobs and has less than $1 million in projected gross revenues) located in rural areas. For Nevada this includes most areas outside of Carson City, Reno and Las Vegas. The public bodies, private nonprofit corporations and federally recognized Indian tribes receive the grant. The grant funds do not go directly to the small business. Grant funds may be used for technical assistance (providing assistance for marketing studies, feasibility studies, business plans, training, etc.) to small businesses, purchasing machinery and equipment for lease to a small and emerging business, creating a revolving loan fund (providing partial funding as a loan to a small and emerging business for the purchase of equipment, working capital, or real estate), or to construct a building for a business incubator for small and emerging businesses.
