Put a project forward.
America 275 grows through nomination. If you know of an industrial, infrastructure, technology, or regional-development opportunity that could strengthen national capacity, put it forward for review.
What you bring, what we add
A nomination is the base we build on.
You supply the opportunity; the development work we add turns it into something a partner or a lender can act on.
- ReadinessWe add: prepared to approach capital.
- StructuringWe add: scope, governance, risk.
- FeasibilityWe add: tested and proven.

How to nominate
What a strong nomination includes.
Four things, and none of them require a finished plan.
The need
The capacity gap or opportunity the project addresses, and the public purpose it serves.
The place
Where the project sits, and what about that location makes it the right one.
The sponsor
Who is prepared to carry the project and own the outcome.
The outcomes
The economic and capacity outcomes the project is intended to produce.
Before you nominate
A starting point, not a finished case.
Governments, companies, communities, institutions, and individuals. Every nomination receives a preliminary review.
No. A clear description of the need, place, sponsor, and outcomes is enough to begin. Development is what we do next.
Four things: the need it addresses and the public purpose it serves, where it sits, who is prepared to carry it, and the outcomes it is intended to produce. That is enough to begin.
It receives a preliminary review against three criteria: public value, deliverability, and fit. If it clears screening, it is categorized and considered for development within the portfolio.
No. Nomination is about the opportunity, not the capital; readiness to approach capital is something the development stages add later. Bring the project, and the feasibility, structuring, and readiness work follows.
Industrial, infrastructure, technology, and regional-development opportunities that could strengthen national or regional capacity. The strongest nominations serve a clear public purpose and fit a national priority.
The party prepared to carry the project — to own the outcome and see it through. A credible sponsor is one of the things that makes a nomination competitive.
No. Nominating puts an opportunity forward for review; it does not bind you to anything or guarantee the project advances. It is the start of a review, not an agreement.
That is expected. A clear description of the need, place, sponsor, and outcomes is enough, because development is precisely what happens next. A nomination is a starting point, not a finished plan.
Yes. Governments, companies, communities, institutions, and individuals can all nominate, including regional opportunities put forward on a community’s behalf. Every nomination receives the same preliminary review.
