It is permissible to participate in an existing project financed by a usurious loan, because the impermissibility is not related to the money itself. However, if the project does not exist and requires study by the inquirer, then it is not permissible, because it involves assisting in borrowing with usury, which is forbidden due to Allah's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression."
