Grant Overview
Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant Program (REDL and REDG) is sponsored by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA Rural Development). This program offers loans and grants to assist in the economic development of rural areas, including funds for healthcare facilities and equipment, telecommunications networks, and job creation projects. USDA provides zero-interest loans to local utilities, who then pass these funds to local businesses for projects that create and retain employment in rural areas.
Grant Eligibility
Eligible applicants include USDA electric or telecommunications borrowers (local utilities) who then make pass-through funds available to local businesses (ultimate recipients) for projects that will create and retain employment in rural areas. Also open to healthcare providers, local governments, non-profit organizations, and other entities that aim to improve rural health infrastructure.
