Intermediary Relending Program (IRP)

Go to RD-Oregon Business Programs homepage

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