Northwest and Rocky Mountain USDA Regional Food Business Center Submission Manager The Business Builder Grants Program, part of the USDA’s network of Regional Food Business Centers (RFBCs), is designed to support a more resilient and competitive food system by offering financial aid and technical assistance to small- and mid-sized producers.
These grants aim to enhance business viability and access to local and regional markets, with a particular focus on underserved and underinvested farmers and food enterprises. Each RFBC tailors its grant programs to meet regional needs, and the Northwest and Rocky Mountain RFBC supports six states: Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming.
The program emphasizes four key priorities: expanding food entrepreneurs, developing climate-smart agricultural markets, building meat supply chain capacity, and improving infrastructure investments.
