The CDFIs, credit unions, and microlenders that actually say yes — county by county, in two languages. We are not a lender. Nobody paid to be listed. And where a county has no good doors, we say so.

How to read this list.
We do not ask for your name, your email, or your number. Nothing on this page changes based on who you are.
A door is headquartered here when its head office sits inside the county line. The rest are based elsewhere and keep a branch you can walk into. We list both, and we label which is which.
Every institution on this page comes from public federal data — the CDFI Fund certified list (Aug 2026), NCUA credit union data (Jun 2026), and the SBA microloan intermediary list (Sep 2026) — plus a short national tier we verified by hand. We refresh each list as its agency publishes. No listing is paid.
Gilliam County is one of Oregon's most rural counties, with a small but resilient community of ranchers, farmers, solo contractors, and small business owners along the John Day River corridor. This guide walks you through personal financing options that are actually available locally — including credit unions, CDFIs, and ITIN-friendly lenders — so you can make informed decisions without pressure. Origen Capital is a directory, not a lender, and we never collect your personal information. Take your time, compare your options, and reach out to local intermediaries who know your community.

The rules where you are.
None of this is set by a lender. Oregon sets it, and it applies the same in every county in the state — which is why it is worth knowing before you knock on any of the doors above.
- STATE INCOME TAX4.75% – 9.9%
What the state takes off what you earn, before anyone works out what payment you can carry.
- SALES TAXNone
What you pay on top of every purchase. On a small loan for a repair or a tool, this is a real part of the total.
- MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME$77K
Half the households in the state earn less than this. A lot of the programs above use that number to decide who qualifies.
- COST OF LIVING114.1
National index, where 100 is the country's average. Under 100 means your money goes further here.
