Opportunity Summary:
The Portable Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number OSBDC 2014 03) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) designed to help Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Lead Centers respond when a major disaster affects the area they serve. The program is intended to support disaster-related, on-the-ground assistance for small businesses, and it specifically invites proposals from SBDC Lead Centers that are already funded by the SBA and have experienced a major disaster within their service territory. A key restriction is that only applications submitted by eligible SBDC Lead Centers will be considered; proposals from other organizations are not eligible even if they work in disaster recovery or small business support.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the SBA is likely to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant, such as oversight, coordination, or specific programmatic requirements typical of cooperative agreements. The activity category is Business and Commerce, and the funding is tied to CFDA 59.037 (Small Business Development Centers). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants are not required to provide a non-federal match to receive an award under this announcement.
The SBA anticipated making up to five awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $326,477. Individual award sizes were expected to fall within a defined range, with an award floor of $65,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000. These figures suggest the program was structured to provide a meaningful but targeted amount of support to a limited number of affected SBDC Lead Centers, likely to enable rapid deployment of assistance capacity in disaster-impacted regions.
The opportunity was posted on June 18, 2014, and had an application deadline of August 28, 2014, with submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The archive date was September 27, 2014, indicating the opportunity is no longer open and is preserved for recordkeeping and reference. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the SBA Office of Small Business Development Centers provided contact support by phone at (202) 205-6766 and by email at osbdc@sba.gov. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through the SBA link provided in the notice.
