Grow Iowa Foundation (GIF) serves 17 rural counties in southwest Iowa, with a focus on creating jobs in the region. To date, the organization has provided approximately $1.5 million in loans to 22 enterprises.
While the federal government does not provide grants for starting or growing small businesses, it does provide a myriad of services to assist entrepreneurs in pursuit of their dreams. One of the mechanisms in place to promote small business growth and economic development are Community Development Financial Institutions.
The U.S Small Business Administration supports both the Small Business Development Center Program and SCORE to provide management assistance to current and prospective small business owners. These programs offer one-stop assistance to individuals and small businesses by providing a wide variety of information and guidance in central and easily accessible branch locations.
