Co-op programs

Promoting a dynamic business environment in rural America is the goal of Rural Business Programs (BP).

BP works in partnership with the private sector and the community-based organizations to provide financial assistance and business planning. BP helps fund projects that create or preserve quality jobs and/or promote a clean rural environment.

The financial resources of BP are often leveraged with those of other public and private credit source lenders to meet business and credit needs in under-served areas.

Recipients of these programs may include individuals, corporations, partnerships, cooperatives, public bodies, nonprofit organizations, Indian tribes, and private companies.
