USDA Rural Development has opened the Distance Learning & Telemedicine Grant Program, and this is a strong opportunity for rural communities, schools, health care providers, nonprofits, local governments, Tribes, and even eligible for-profit businesses.

The SBA has announced up to $50 million in grant awards for as many as 10 eligible applicant organizations that can provide training and technical assistance to small manufacturers.

This is directly tied to the broader push to rebuild American industrial capacity, strengthen domestic supply chains, and help small manufacturers compete in a changing economy.

Eligible organizations may have an opportunity to support manufacturers with:
• Business training
• Technical assistance
• Capital readiness
• Operational support
• Supply chain development
• Growth planning

Deadline: June 15 at 11:59 p.m. EDT

Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov.
For nonprofits, economic development organizations, technical assistance providers, manufacturing support organizations, and regional partners, this could be a major opportunity to build capacity and serve small manufacturers in a meaningful way.

If your organization is looking at this opportunity and needs help building a strong proposal, reach out and let’s get started.
