UPDATE: SBA Disaster Loans Available in Additional Areas in Minnesota for Private Non-Profit Organizations; Upcoming Deadline Sept. 19

ATLANTA, Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The U.S. Small Business Administration adds additional areas for disaster assistance and reminds eligible private non-profit (PNP) organizations in Minnesota of the Sept. 19 deadline to submit disaster loan applications for damages caused by severe storms, high winds, flooding, landslides and mudslides from June 11 through July 11, 2014.

The declaration now covers the following parts of Minnesota: Beltrami, Blue Earth, Brown, Carver, Chippewa, Dodge, Faribault, Freeborn, Hennepin, Jackson, Koochiching,
Lac Qui Parle, Lake of the Woods, Le Suer, Lyon, Marshall, Martin, McLeod, Murray, Nicollet, Nobles, Pipestone, Ramsey, Redwood, Renville Rice, Rock, Roseau, Scott, Sibley, Steele, Todd, Wadena, Waseca, Watonwan, Wright, and Yellow Medicine counties, and the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa within Koochiching County, Red Lake Band of Chippewa, and Prarie Island Indian Community tribes.

The SBA offers low interest disaster loans to private non-profit organizations for physical losses up to its loan limits.  Approved loans can be increased for protective measures to lessen similar future damages. Additionally, PNPs can obtain loans for unmet working capital needs. To be considered for this assistance, PNPs need to apply by the deadline.
