About this program
The Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Washington Office Rural Business Cooperative Services administers the Rural Business Enterprise Grants – ARRA program (CFDA 10.783) to facilitate development of small and emerging private business, industry, and related employment in rural communities. The most recent grant award was disbursed on September 30, 2010.
This program is no longer active. All 194 awards spanning $18.1 million in combined federal obligations were concentrated in a two-year window: 145 awards in 2009 and 49 awards in 2010. The final grant was awarded over sixteen years ago. No recent grant opportunities are posted, and no solicitations are anticipated.
The program operated as pure Project Grants. All awards flowed through a single funding source—the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Washington Office Rural Business Cooperative Services—which obligated the entire $18.1 million federal dollars.
Award magnitudes clustered in the $50 thousand to $200 thousand range, with a median near $99 thousand. Representative recent awards include Project Grant 132470 for $199,916 (March 24, 2010), Project Grant 130780 for $200,000 (March 19, 2010), Project Grant 121994 for $199,900 (March 1, 2010), and a larger outlier, Project Grant 67696 for $557,619 (September 30, 2009). Some awards carried zero federal obligation despite completion dates extending into 2013 and 2014, indicating a cohort of grants with performance periods detached from funding timing.
This Assistance Listing represents a time-limited stimulus initiative under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Applicants seeking rural business development funding should evaluate current USDA Rural Business Cooperative Services offerings rather than pursue this closed program line.
