MI2 hosted a webinar in December on federal grants and funding opportunities for Kentucky’s metals industry. The session delved into the intricacies of federal grants and stimulus funding, offering unprecedented opportunities for regional metals companies.

Billions of dollars have been allocated for federal grants and stimulus funding, giving Kentucky metals companies a unique chance to address significant challenges. The webinar explored a wide range of possibilities, including workforce programs, infrastructure needs, energy efficiency enhancements, decarbonization efforts, and the creation of sustainable supply chains.

Despite these vast opportunities, navigating the complexities of grant applications has caused some metals companies to miss out on substantial funding. MI2 Grants & Funding, with the expertise of consultant Ruthie Caldwell of Vision Granted, aims to empower metals companies to tap into these invaluable resources.

The webinar participants gained insights from Ruthie, who provided a comprehensive overview of federal funding sources, including grants, tax credits, and incentives tailored for the metals industry. Understanding these options is crucial for companies looking to secure vital financial backing.

Ruthie also guided participants in identifying projects within their companies that could be catalyzed through federal funding. Whether it's workforce development, infrastructure enhancements, or sustainability initiatives, the webinar outlined how these funds can shape a company's trajectory. Ruthie covered the grant process from the initial application to the final impact on the balance sheet, ensuring a thorough understanding of this often-complex journey.
