Vision
To be the catalyst
for economic progress in rural communities by facilitating and
supporting entrepreneurial networks.
Mission
The mission of
Umpqua CDC’s MEDAL Program is to work for and with people to provide
community-based economic development opportunities so that our
community may collectively and individually recognize its intrinsic
value and realize its economic potential.
Overview
Umpqua Community Development
Corporation is a non-profit 501(c) (3) organization located in
Roseburg and has been providing affordable housing and economic
development to Douglas, Coos, and Curry Counties since 1991. The
MEDAL (Micro Enterprise Development and Learning) Program has been
providing business training since 1994, and was formed based on a
demonstrated need from the community, to offer low-income
entrepreneurs the opportunity to start a business or expand an
existing business by providing them with the skills and tools
necessary for their business’s development and growth.
As the Southwest Oregon
Target Area Lead, Umpqua CDC is connecting with local communities to
identify the specific needs of entrepreneurs. By utilizing a survey
process, potential and existing business owners identify needs and
concerns specific to their businesses or geographical areas. The
goal is to connect the entrepreneurs with local and statewide
resources through trainings, workshops, one-to-one assistance, and
referrals to other applicable resources. |
