Start a REAP Association

Small local businesses are at the core of economic activity in rural communities, and support for theses businesses should be a part of the development plan of every small community. REAP is designed to be a partner in that plan. REAP enhances local business formation and invests in local people and in the future of the local community.

To become involved, a community, small business, or individual should:

  • Contact REAP to find out if REAP is available in your area
  • Identify a local contact person that can help with the association formation.
  • Determine if there is sufficient local interest (10-20 potential members).
  • Raise the start-up cost of $1200.

REAP resources are limited and its procedures subject to change.  Communities should contact REAP before undertaking any organizing activities.  More. . .
