Made in NYC (nonprofit)

Made in NYC is a nonprofit initiative of the Pratt Center for Community Development that supports manufacturers and makers operating within the five boroughs of New York City. Funded with notable grants from the New York City Council as well as the Garment District Alliance, Made in NYC offers free membership to manufacturing companies with operations based in either the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, or Staten Island.
History.
Made in NYC was first founded in 2003 to rebuild urban manufacturing after the September 11 attacks, which impacted many communities and businesses within the city. Originally an initiative of the New York Industrial Retention Network (NYIRN), a nonprofit founded in 1976 with the mission "to promote a diverse economy that provides economic opportunities for all New Yorkers by strengthening New York City's manufacturing sector, based on principles of economic and environmental justice and sustainability," in 2010, the NYIRN joined the Pratt Center for Community Development, where it was then consolidated into one program called Made in NYC. Since then, Made in NYC has expanded its operations to offer free educational programming and creative services in marketing and branding to its members through their partnership with Pratt Institute.
Programming.
According to their website, the Made in NYC Learning Lab has four main branches of free programs for their members: Creative Services, DIY Production, Marketing Strategy, and Fashion Strategies. Among the creative services offered to their members are free product photography and video production. The DIY Production branch of their educational programming includes courses on photography techniques and sustainable packaging practices, while the Marketing Strategy programming includes courses on digital marketing strategies, website design and UX, merchandising strategy, and brand development. For the educational programming on Fashion Strategies, Made in NYC partnered with the Garment District Alliance Business Development Collaborative to offer courses specifically tailored to businesses operating within the Garment District of Manhattan.
