Description of Program and Relief
Grants Available to Connecticut Manufacturers to Produce COVID-19 Supplies
Connecticut manufacturers can apply for grants of up to $75,000 to assist in the production of critical equipment and supplies needed to respond to COVID-19. The grants, offered through the Manufacturing Innovation Fund Voucher Program, can be used for working capital, new equipment, and other purposes that help companies build capacity or repurpose their operations. Applications for the funding will be reviewed and approved by the Department of Economic and Community Development in partnership with the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology, based on the state’s current needs for medical equipment and supplies related to the pandemic. Funding for this short-term program is limited to $1.3 million and requires a one-to-one match from participating businesses.
Through the creation of a new website by CONNSTEP — www.ctcovidresponse.org — manufacturers will be able to obtain information on the current supply needs in Connecticut, make connections with suppliers, and ultimately provide the products to health care institutions.
