Grants Available for Montana Companies Impacted by Imports and Forced to Lay Off Workers

We are a US Department of Commerce program designed to assist American companies that are impacted by imports and been forced to lay off workers. We offer up to $75,000 in matching federal grants for Montana companies 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 funding on technical assistance projects aimed at improving their competitiveness including marketing, employee training, website redesign, lean manufacturing, quality control certification and product or facility design, among many others. However, our funding cannot be used by an eligible company to purchase assets, such as equipment or software.

For more information about our program, I encourage you to visit our website at: http://www.nwtaac.org for more information.

If you have any questions, would like to learn more, or know of any Montana companies that might be interested in receiving assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me or pass along my contact information.

Sincerely,

Patrick Meuleman
