The Local Production Fund is currently not actively operating. Please see the brief overview for additional information regarding the program.
A pilot grant program, the Local Production Fund encourages U.S. designers to start or increase their production in New York City by matching them with manufacturers who have received credits to be used exclusively production runs for participating designers.
The Local Production Fund builds off the investment of innovative technology made through the FMI Grant Fund and is intended to bolster more use of that technology, as well as build stronger relationships between designers and manufacturers and create more consistent production for NYC manufacturers.
