National Security Fund Finance (“NSFF”) Program

Description: OSC is issuing this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to attract and scale private capital to minerals and materials critical to U.S. national security. The NSFF Program is a fund-level financing solution for gaps, shortages, and vulnerabilities in critical-minerals-and-materials supply chains and associated technologies, supply chains, and production processes. It provides loans to qualified investment fund managers, who combine OSC loans with private capital to invest in portfolio companies addressing those national-security shortages, gaps, and vulnerabilities.
