About the company
New Bedford Economic Development Council, Inc. is a Massachusetts-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization registered with the federal government since 2005 that serves as a prime grantee for federal economic development and small business support initiatives. The organization operates from its headquarters in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and leverages federal grant funding to provide comprehensive entrepreneurial assistance, microfinance services, and business development support to underserved populations and small business concerns in the New Bedford area and surrounding regions.
The organization has established a robust track record of federal grant administration across multiple Small Business Administration programs and the National Endowment for the Arts. Through its primary federal funding source—the SBA Office of Capital Access Microloan Program (CFDA 59.046)—the Council has received recurring annual grants ranging from approximately $107,000 to $163,000 to operate as a microlender, providing fixed-rate microloans up to $50,000 to startup, newly established, and growing small businesses, along with associated business training and technical assistance services. Additionally, the organization received a significant $1 million Community Navigator Pilot Program grant (CFDA 59.077) from the SBA Office of Entrepreneurial Development in December 2021 to deliver pandemic relief and recovery support services through December 2023, including one-on-one counseling and group training to historically underserved entrepreneurs including minorities, women, veterans, disabled individuals, and rural business owners. The Council also received a National Endowment for the Arts project grant beginning January 2025 to support competitive grant programs for individual artists and nonprofit organizations. As a subrecipient, the organization has received multiple sub-awards from the City of New Bedford for economic development programs, microenterprise job creation and retention assistance, and low-moderate income (LMI) job creation initiatives, demonstrating its integral role in the city's broader economic development strategy.
