Manufacturers: How to Get Grants for Sustainability & Business Growth
Did you know that millions in grant funding are available for manufacturers—but most businesses don’t even know they exist? In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I chat with Micki Vandeloo, president of Lakeview Consulting, to break down how manufacturers can find, apply for, and secure grants to support sustainability initiatives, energy efficiency, equipment upgrades, and workforce training.
Government grants can be a game changer for businesses looking to invest in clean energy, circular economy solutions, or supply chain innovation. But with complex application processes and limited awareness, many companies leave money on the table.
In this episode, we cover:
✅ Why so many manufacturers miss out on grant opportunities
✅ The difference between grants, tax credits, subsidies, and loans
✅ How sustainability grants can fund renewable energy, EV infrastructure & energy efficiency
✅ Why state-level grants are often easier to secure than federal ones
✅ How changing government policies could impact funding opportunities
✅ Tips for finding & applying for the right grants for your business
📌 If you're a manufacturer or part of a supply chain, this is a must-watch! Learn how to access the funding available and invest in sustainability without breaking the bank.
