social enterprise

Has any social entrepreneur out there had luck using USDA Rural development funds for a social enterprise? I'm not that familiar with accessing USDA rural development funds but I know that they can be grants, 0% or cheap. I like cheap. 

Some interesting links I've been collecting while doing research on social enterprises and social entrepreneurs.

Hi! My name is Gordon and I had an idea for a website that would make it easier to eat healthy and support the local economy. I've worked as an art gallery curator, social worker and now I develop earned income strategies for non-profits.  In the little free time I have, I enjoy art photography and riding my bike.
