Intermediary Relending Program (IRP) in Oregon

The IRP is USDA Rural Development's primary program for capitalizing revolving loan funds (RLF).  USDA Rural Development lends money to economic development intermediaries (nonprofits and public bodies) who in turn re-lend the funds as commercial loans to rural businesses (ultimate recipients) that might not otherwise be able to obtain such financing.  The repayment of the ultimate recipient loans allows the intermediary to continue to make more loans to new ultimate recipients, supporting sustainable economic development.
