Innovators in Rural Community Economic Development
Two funding opportunities highlighted in the January 2014 Rural LISC newsletter may be of particular interest to our colleagues.
From the newsletter:
THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE is offering grants to support the implementation of regional economic development strategies designed to create jobs, leverage private capital, and strengthen America's ability to compete in the global marketplace. Deadline: 3/14/2014.
THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION is offering funding to public agencies, nonprofits, Institutions of Higher Education and Indian Tribes for a wide variety of planning, community development and economic development projects to improve economic conditions for low-income people in economically distressed communities. Deadline: 3/14/2014.
