grants for small manufacturers

Thanks to generous funding from Jan Erickson and Jon Thomas, the Colorado Business Development Foundation will be awarding five $1,000 grants for small businesses in the manufacturing industry to be used to improve the company’s manufacturing processes or equipment.

In order to be eligible, businesses must be:

  • Physically headquartered in the State of Colorado

  • In good standing with the Colorado Secretary of State

  • In business for at least six months but no more than three years

  • Show 2022 annual sales from revenue of at least $50,000 but no more than $200,000

Strong preference will be given to businesses that:

  • Utilize the grant funds to improve manufacturing processes and/or equipment

  • Have adopted “do no harm” practices

  • Are women-owned

The grant application will be open to celebrate Manufacturing Month from October 1 - 31 or until the first 30 applications are received, whichever occurs first. Winners will be notified mid-November.
