Two general categories of proposals will be considered:

EDA Grant for Oregon Manufacturers
I wanted to remind you about the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms program. We are a U.S. Economic Development Administration program designed to assist U.S. manufacturers that are impacted by imports. We offer up to $75,000 in matching federal grants for Oregon manufacturers that qualify for our program.
In order to qualify, a company must demonstrate that their business has been negatively impacted by foreign competition. Eligible companies can use the funds for projects including: marketing, lean manufacturing, quality control certification, product or facility design, export assistance and many others. However, our funding cannot be used by an eligible company to purchase assets, such as equipment.
We will also write the grant application for the company at no cost to them.
Visit our website at www.nwtaac.org for more information.
