Yes. To be eligible for the PIER Microenterprise Grant or Revolving Loan Fund, your business must meet the following criteria:

• Be located in Jackson County, Oregon
• Have 5 or fewer employees (for grants) or meet small business criteria (for loans)
• Serve low- to moderate-income individuals, or address urgent community needs
• Either:
  – Have been directly impacted by the 2020 Labor Day wildfires, or
  – Have been established as a response to meet critical needs resulting from the fires (e.g., housing, cleanup, public safety, health services)

This program recognizes that recovery includes not only helping those who suffered losses, but also supporting the small businesses that stepped up to meet the needs of their neighbors.
