The Emerging Brands Alliance, an organization dedicated to helping CPG brands scale manufacturing, has announced its 2023 grant program. This year, the Alliance will award one $50,000 grant to assist a high-growth company with the purchase of packaging or processing machinery for their manufacturing facility, or that of their co-manufacturer’s facility. Applications open March 17, 2023.

In 2022 the Alliance distributed $60,000 in grant funding to three emerging brands who were each awarded $20,000. The winners, Yishi Foods, Pescavore, and Sarilla, were selected from over 460 applicants by a jury of industry professionals, and announced at the Emerging Brands Summit in Chicago. Criteria was based on product innovation, brand story, and growth potential.
