Business Administration (SBA) - Office of Small Business Development Centers
(SBDC)
Description
The
U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) plans to issue Funding Opportunity No.
OSBDC-2020-03 to invite applications from existing SBDC recipient organizations
currently funded under the Small Business Development Center (SBDC)
program. Applicants will develop portable assistance programs to support
the start-up and sustainability of small business concerns in communities that
are economically challenged as a result of a business or government facility
downsizing or closing, resulting in the loss of jobs or small business
instability.
The
SBDC program is the SBA’s non-credit service delivery network providing high
quality business and economic development assistance to small businesses and
nascent entrepreneurs to promote growth, expansion, innovation, increased
productivity and management improvement. The SBDCs, in partnership with
SBA’s Office of Small Business Development Centers (OSBDC) and SBA District
Offices, develop programs and provide business management and other services
that enhance the economic development goals and objectives of SBA and their
respective state and local funding partners. The SBDC program is a
broad-based system of assistance for the small business community that links the
resources of Federal, state, and local governments with those of the educational
community and the private sector. Although SBA is responsible for the
general management and oversight of the SBDC program, a partnership exists
between SBA and the recipient organization to effectuate the delivery of
assistance to the small business community.
