Find Funding for Your Business
Grants. Loans. Programs that could put real dollars back into your business.
One of our goals is to create Business Value for EO Portland Members by connecting you with resources that already exist in our community.
There are local organizations, government agencies, and nonprofits offering grants, loans, and other funding programs for businesses. The problem? Most of us are busy running our companies and don't have time to go hunting for them.
So, we're making it a little easier.
Below are a few places worth checking out. Opportunities and eligibility change regularly, so click through to see what's currently available and whether your business might qualify.
Start Here: Portland Office of Small Business
Not sure what's out there? Start here.
The Portland Office of Small Business has pulled together funding resources for Portland businesses, including information about grants, loans, and programs available through local, state, and federal organizations.
Think of this as your jumping-off point for exploring what's available.
Prosper Portland Grants
There could be money available to help you invest in your business or property.
Prosper Portland, the city's economic and urban development agency, offers several grant programs for eligible Portland businesses and properties.
Programs change, but opportunities may include funding for things like building improvements, repairs, security improvements, and investments in specific Portland districts.
If you've been putting off an improvement to your space, this is definitely worth a look.
Built Oregon
Have a consumer product or retail business? Check out Built Oregon.
Built Oregon supports Oregon founders and consumer brands with programs designed to help businesses grow, increase sales, access retail opportunities, and build stronger companies.
They periodically offer grants and other founder opportunities, so this is a good one to keep on your radar.
Found Something Great?
Cross-pollination is another big part of Stronger Together.
