U.S. Department of Agriculture. Deadlines: 3/31/23 and 6/30/23
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Economic Development Loan (REDL) and Grant (REDG). The USDA REDL and REDG programs provide funding to rural projects through local utility organizations to help local businesses finance projects to create and retain jobs or finance community facility projects. Under the REDL program, USDA provides zero-interest loans to local utilities. In turn, the utilities pass the loans through local businesses for use in projects that create and maintain employment in rural areas. Under the REDG program, local utility organizations use USDA-awarded grants to establish revolving loan funds (RLFs), which help support projects that create or retain rural jobs. When the RLF is exhausted or ends, the grant is repaid to USDA. Applications can be submitted to your USDA Rural Development State Office on a quarterly basis; upcoming deadlines are 3/31/23 and 6/30/23. https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/business-programs/rural-economic-development-loan-grant-program

The Kerr Foundation, Inc. Deadline: June 30, 2023
The Kerr Foundation, Inc. identifies and supports 501(c)(3) organizations and institutions that provide new or enhanced opportunities for those within granting areas, particularly the young. We believe this is the best accomplished in the areas of education, health, cultural development and community service. While preference is given to Oklahoma organizations and institutions, we recognize those located outside the state and region can also have a beneficial impact on the economic, social and cultural growth and development of Oklahoma. Therefore, we will also accept grant requests from Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico and Texas. In recognizing the significant and continuing influence of the Federal government on our state and region, we will also accept proposals from the Washington D.C. area; however, Oklahoma organizations will receive first priority for available funds. Favorable consideration of a proposal will normally be in the form of a Challenge Grant. This means that the organization approved for a grant must first, in order to receive payment, raise or secure grants, donations and/or pledges in the total amount specified in the grant. The challenge amount is usually dollar for dollar and typically must be secured within twelve months from the date of award.
