Creating Change in our Communities
Here at SCKEDD, we are a non-profit organization that brings together communities to advocate economic growth.
We work to improve the quality of life for those who live within our designated 14-county area. We take action by providing several grant and loan opportunities to programs that help us reach these goals. We’d be happy to talk with you about your project!

Loan Programs
Our loans cover multiple needs for multiple organizations- whether you’re looking for a Small Business Loan (SBA) or a Rural Business Development Loan, we offer several options that could help boost your local economy.
Grants
We may have a grant available to you that offers assistance at no cost. There are grants for both individuals, as well as communities- and we’ll work directly with you to see if you are eligible.
- Creating and maintaining employment
- Making infrastructure improvements
- Increasing the quality of housing
- Advancing tourism
