NJ MVP – Grant to increase manufacturing productivity

This program makes grant allotments available to New Jersey-based manufacturers for equipment upgrades, and to integrate advanced technologies and innovations that increase productivity, efficiency and profitability. NJ MVP funding will be capped at $250,000 to reimburse qualified manufacturers for up to 50% of eligible equipment costs.

Certified woman-, minority-, and veteran-owned businesses (WMVB), and those located in designated Opportunity Zones will be eligible for stackable bonuses. Applicants that have an existing collective bargaining agreement, purchase equipment manufactured and/or assembled in New Jersey, and small businesses with less than 100 full-time equivalent employees will receive additional benefits including higher-percentage grant awards.

Award Size & Distribution

Grants will cover 30% – 50% of eligible equipment purchase and installation costs, with a minimum award of $7,500 per applicant and maximum of $250,000.
Companies may submit multiple NJ MVP grant applications for different projects.
The aggregate amount awarded to any company cannot exceed $250,000 over the life of the program.
The company will be allowed 12 months for the delivery and installation of the equipment with two 6-month extensions before the funds are disbursed.
Approved expenses will be reimbursed using the NJ MVP grant award after the project is completed, and the required documentation has been submitted and reviewed.
