Hi everyone, On the topic of revenue generation, I put together some info on Grants that possibly align with NIMA’s mission around manufacturing collaboration, workforce development, and supply chain growth across the Inland Northwest. I pulled together a few resources that may be useful as we think about future initiatives and possible grant strategies: • A consolidated list of state and federal grant opportunities relevant to manufacturing (ID, WA, MT, and federal programs) • A few initial thoughts on the types of programs NIMA could potentially lead or coordinate regionally I've attached the Excel and Word files, and I’ve linked the working Google documents below so they’re easy to review and comment on: [Google Doc – Grant Opportunities List] [Google Doc – Grant Strategy / Program Concepts] - AI summary of possible initiatives These are just working drafts, feel free to comment on or add to them.
