Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Oregon Businesses and Entrepreneurs
The Support for Small Businesses and Future Founders grant program is designed to drive economic growth in Oregon by focusing on specific priority outcomes. These outcomes are tailored to address the unique challenges faced by small businesses and entrepreneurs in the state. The Oregon Business Development Department (OBDD) and the Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) are key state agencies that align with the goals of this grant program.
One of the primary target outcomes is to increase access to capital for underrepresented groups, particularly women and minority-owned businesses. Oregon's diverse economy, which includes a strong presence of industries such as technology, manufacturing, and agriculture, requires a diverse range of entrepreneurs to drive innovation. By providing financial support to these groups, the grant program aims to bridge the gap in access to resources and promote a more inclusive business environment.
Another key outcome is to foster business growth in Oregon's rural areas. The state's rural regions, such as the Eastern Oregon region, face distinct challenges, including limited access to funding and resources. By supporting businesses in these areas, the grant program can help stimulate local economies and promote regional development. For instance, grants can be used to support businesses in frontier counties, where economic opportunities are limited.
The grant program also prioritizes outcomes related to job creation and retention. By supporting businesses that are creating new job opportunities, the program can help drive economic growth and improve the overall quality of life for Oregonians. The Oregon Employment Department reports that small businesses are a significant source of job creation in the state, making this outcome a critical focus area for the grant program.
Measuring Success in Oregon
To measure the success of the grant program, the funder will track key performance indicators (KPIs) such as the number of businesses supported, the amount of funding disbursed, and the number of jobs created or retained. The program will also assess the impact of the grants on the state's economy, including the effect on local tax revenues and economic output. Data from the Oregon Secretary of State's Business Registry and the U.S. Census Bureau's County Business Patterns will be used to inform these assessments.
The grant program will also engage with other states in the region, such as Nevada and Louisiana, to identify best practices and areas for collaboration. Additionally, the program will consider the needs of various types of businesses, including small businesses, women-owned businesses, and individual entrepreneurs, to ensure that the support is tailored to the specific needs of Oregon's business community.
