Introduction

As your business grows, there may be new skills your workforce must learn to apply, new processes you need to employ, and new machinery you need to purchase.

To help find funding to support these business requirements, MACNY has tapped into a network of agencies that publish information about grants and offer grant solicitations. Throughout Central and Upstate New York we work closely with local Workforce Investment Boards, universities and community colleges, and economic development agencies to connect our members with the best funding sources aligned with their business needs. MACNY’s goal is to provide you with information as quickly as possible and send out Grant Alerts to share the latest news.

Here’s what other members had to say about the grant application resources they received through MACNY:

“We were inexperienced in the grant application process. MACNY helped us to find a grant writer so that we could submit the grant in the proper format.”
  -- Ron Hull, Manager of Operations, Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMCO)

“MACNY has been a great clearing-house of grant information.”
  -- Kim Townsend, Senior Council, Welch Allyn

“MACNY made us aware of the grant. They kept us in the loop and gave us feedback.”
  --Sam Haines, President, Nixon Gear, Inc.

“MACNY’s Karen DeJarnette is a great resource for any manufacturing training. Her expertise is a tremendous talent and resource to any of the MACNY members.”
  -- Barbara V. Stack, Training Manager, Crucible Materials
