Non-profit small business development center operating under agreement with the Small Business Administration; or b.

Association of the departments of trade (as defined above) of two or more states; or c. Entity within a state or within a region that is associated with a state department of trade, tourism, or other type of economic development including non-profit, non-private, non-commercial entities which is at least partially funded by, directed by, or tasked by a state government to promote trade, tourism, or another type of economic development. 4. Special Note Regarding Educational Institutions Educational institutions, such as schools, colleges, and universities, are not eligible. However, organizations that are part of or affiliated with an educational institution for administrative, accounting, financial, legal, or logistical reasons may be eligible. Such organizations that are not independent legal entities, for example, an unincorporated organization, that otherwise may be classified above under III.A. Eligible Applicants, above, as a trade association, non-profit industry association, or state department of trade and its regional associations, are eligible. In such a case, the eligible organization will include in its application a signed letter from the educational institution stating that MDCP funds will be used only by the eligible organization for the purposes outlined in its application and that no such funds will be used by or retained by the educational institution, even though the funds may need to go through the educational institution because of the eligible organization's lack of a separate accounting system or lack of status as a separate legal entity.
