en.Wedoany.com Reported - The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced a new grant program that will provide a total of $50 million in grants to up to 10 eligible organizations to deliver training and technical assistance to small manufacturers under the "Empower to Grow" (E2G) program. This "Made in America E2G Grant Program" aims to help small manufacturers rebuild domestic supply chains, promote job reshoring, and enhance U.S. industrial competitiveness.
SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler stated: "Under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump, America's reindustrialization is accelerating, and the SBA is proud to support the small manufacturers driving this renaissance." She noted that through this initiative, small manufacturers will gain the resources and workforce support needed to facilitate the reshoring of critical supply chains, ensuring the United States maintains its position as a global manufacturing powerhouse.
The E2G program offers eligible U.S. small businesses free business courses, hands-on training, and one-on-one consulting, covering multiple key industries such as aerospace, shipbuilding, industrial machinery, metal fabrication, and advanced manufacturing. Qualified applicants must be for-profit or non-profit entities that have been in continuous operation for more than three years and possess experience in providing manufacturing-related technical assistance.
The deadline for proposal submission is 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 15, and submissions can be made online through grants.gov. The SBA will also host three webinars to detail the grant specifics, scheduled for May 11, May 27, and June 3, respectively.
Additionally, the SBA has introduced a 90% "Made in America" loan guarantee for small manufacturers and waived loan fees for manufacturing NAICS codes in fiscal year 2026. The agency has also established its first loan program specifically for American manufacturers and launched the "Make Reshoring Great Again" portal, connecting small businesses with over 1 million domestic suppliers.
