The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is reminding eligible small businesses and private nonprofit (PNP) organizations in Montana of the July 14, 2025, deadline to apply for low interest federal disaster loans to offset economic losses caused by drought beginning Sept. 17, 2024.
The disaster declaration covers the Montana counties of Carter, Custer, Fallon, Garfield, Powder River, Prairie and Rosebud.
Under this declaration, SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program is available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, nurseries, and PNPs with financial losses directly related to the disaster. The SBA is unable to provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers, except for small aquaculture enterprises.
