Benefits of the TAAF Program

Assistance

• The Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms (TAAF) program brings together our staff's management and planning expertise with federal funds so eligible companies can mitigate any negative effects of foreign competition and compete effectively in the global economy.

• Eligible companies can receive up to $75,000 in matching federal grant funding for a wide range of projects.

• Our staff assists you from initial evaluation to application (petition), to development of the strategic plan (Adjustment Proposal), to implementation and successful conclusion of funded projects as outlined in the plan.

Plan / Projects

• Your company can do projects that you might not have considered without some assistance.

• Projects will be tailored to meet your company's needs and goals.

• The financial assistance allows your company to hire experts (third party consultants) to complete the projects of your choice.

• Most any technical assistance project can be funded; however, it is important to note that funds cannot be used to purchase assets such as capital equipment or salaries.
