Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAAF) Funding

Originally Posted HERE on January 28, 2021

2020 was a year like no other in recent history, and the US manufacturing industry felt the impact. Along with declines in production, forced shutdowns in the early days of the pandemic caused a significant dip in manufacturing employment levels. Now, as smaller manufacturers start to recover from the challenges of COVID-19, it's an especially important time to let them know about Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAAF) funding.
 
Do you know a small to mid-sized manufacturer whose sales and employment have declined over the past year? Chances are, they were impacted by import competition before the pandemic and still feel the impact of cheaper imports which have been compounded by the effects of the pandemic. If so, let them know about the TAAF program. TAAF provides qualified firms with up to $75,000 in federal matching funds to implement projects they deem critical to their success.
 
SETAAC has helped import-impacted manufacturers in the southeast for over 40 years and we have funding available to help manufacturers now. Want to learn more about TAAF or let us know about a manufacturer who could use $75K in matching funds? Contact me to get the conversation started!
