There May Be Funding for That: Put NFFS Grant Resources to Work
New equipment. Workforce training. Energy efficiency. Process improvements. Technology investments.
Foundries are continually investing in their operations—and in some cases, grant funding may be available to help offset the cost.
The challenge is finding the right opportunity at the right time.
NFFS members have access to grant resources designed to make those opportunities easier to find, understand and act on. Whether you have a specific project in mind or simply want to know what funding is available, NFFS can help you start looking.
Search the Manufacturing Grants Database
You don’t need to search dozens of government websites to see what opportunities might be available.
The NFFS Manufacturing Grants Database gives members free access to a manufacturing-focused collection of active grant opportunities. Updated monthly, the database allows you to search by state, funding type, eligibility and other criteria, save opportunities for later and connect directly to application information.
The important part? Don’t wait until you need funding to start looking.
If new equipment, training, technology or another investment is on the horizon, make the database one of the places you check as you begin planning.
Watch for the NFFS Grant Spotlight
Not every funding opportunity will be right for your foundry—and sorting through the details takes time.
That’s where the NFFS Grant Spotlight comes in.
Each month, NFFS highlights a funding opportunity with potential relevance to foundries and manufacturers and puts the essential information in one place: what the program supports, available funding, important deadlines and a suggested strategy for determining whether it deserves a closer look.

Finding an opportunity is one thing. Figuring out whether it fits—and what to do next—is another.
NFFS members also have access to monthly grant office hours with an expert from Lakeview Consulting. Members can bring questions, discuss potential opportunities and get guidance as they navigate the grant process.
Make Grant Resources Part of Your Planning
There may not be a grant for every project. But when funding is available, knowing about it early can make a difference.
That’s why NFFS members don’t have to start the search from scratch.
