Oklahoma Center for Non-Profits SBA Loan Assistance Program

The Oklahoma Center for Nonprofits (OKC4NP) has created a new program to help nonprofit organizations navigate the application process for Small Business Administration loan programs. OKC4NP is offering a free consulting program for organizations needing assistance applying for loans with the Small Business Association. Consultants can also provide assistance around the financial planning needs nonprofits will need alongside these loans, as well as assistance with the reporting. The program will run indefinitely so that organizations have access to the consulting while the programs are still available.  Nonprofits needing assistance may contact: Jerry Wright (jwright@okcnp.org), DJ Thompson (djthompson@okcnp.org), or Johnny Buschardt (jbuschardt@okcnp.org)
