Small business services
Mercy Corps Northwest provided vital financing, mentorship, and education to small business owners across the Pacific Northwest until the end of our programs on January 1, 2024. Please visit our contact page to get in touch with staff for questions about past programs and offerings.
Each of our service locations across Oregon and Washington offered a unique set of education and financial services. As of January 1, 2024, all client programs have closed as part of our pivot away from client services in the Pacific Northwest. You can now explore a list of active local providers here.
Training and mentorship
Our education programs helped entrepreneurs learn how to move ideas from concept to reality. Our Oregon office was also home to Oregon Women's Business Center through October 1, 2023. All training and mentorship programs are now closed and complete.
Loans
At Mercy Corps Northwest, we provided loans ranging from $500 to $10,000. We no longer offer loans, but other providers can be found here or with the SBA here.
Matched savings business grants (IDAs)
An Individual Development Account (IDA) assists entrepreneurs in saving money each month to be paired with grant dollars once savings goals are met to fuel business growth. Find a provider in your area by visiting oregonidainitiative.org.
