Business Builder Awards

The Great Lakes Midwest Regional Food Business Center will distribute over $10 million throughout the region through technical assistance and Business Builder grants.

From July 2023 - June 2028, network coordinators will be responsible for identifying priority places for this work, providing direction on technical assistance needs, developing a technical assistance network, and developing a process for distributing and identifying potential grantees for Business Builder grants within their respective geographic areas. 

Business Builder grants up to $100,000 will be made available to meet emerging regional needs and support businesses working toward expansion and other investment.

More information on applying for Business Builder Awards is coming soon.
