Powered by Main Street America, Made Originals is a project that will include a suite of tools and programs designed to uplift small-scale producers and manufacturers, connecting them with new consumer audiences and elevating their brands. In the form of physical retail placements, e-commerce opportunities, product certification, and direct-to-business education and financial support, Made Originals will provide new channels for local businesses to scale, get discovered, and gain credibility on a national level.
