AmericaMakes was established with an initial federal government investment of $ 30 million, while the consortium contributed almost $ 40 million in additional funding. The administration stated that it expected AmericaMakes to become financially self-sustaining. In May 2013, the administration announced the establishment of three additional institutes using $ 200 million in funding through two federal agencies: the Departments of Defense, and Energy.

for domestic production, as well as to train a manufacturing workforce at all skill levels to enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities. Institute activities include connecting proven basic research to additional problem solving that ranges from basic to applied research and demonstration projects that reduce the cost and risk of commercializing new technologies or that solve generic industrial problems, education and training, development of methodologies and practices for supply-chain integration, and engagement with small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises.

Each institute would be independently run by a nonprofit organization and form a public-private partnership designed to leverage existing resources and promote collaboration and co-investment between industry, universities and government agencies.
