T1 Energy and Project Vanguard have partnered to launch the America 250 Builder Fund, a $50,000 national grant program to support veterans who are helping to build America’s next era of independence. The program offers 10 Builder Grants at $2,500 each and one Grand Builder Grant of $25,000, plus visibility, storytelling, and access through T1 and Project Vanguard. The America 250 Builder Fund exists to support veteran-owned businesses, tradespeople, suppliers, makers, and local builders who are helping America become more self-reliant in energy, industry, workforce, infrastructure, and community. Energy-related ventures such as agrisolar are eligible to apply. Grant recipients will be selected based on the strength of their story, the clarity of their need, and the potential impact of what they are building.
