Summary
This grant is intended to support nonprofit organizations that are focused on advancing economic opportunities for individuals and communities. It is open to qualified nonprofit entities within the United States, as well as to certain international organizations that meet similar charitable standards. The main goal is to fund programs that offer real pathways to employment, entrepreneurship, and financial independence—such as job training, career development, small business support, or other workforce-related efforts.
To apply, organizations typically need to demonstrate at least two years of operations and show how they are making a measurable impact in economic empowerment. The funder is particularly interested in programs that are ready to implement or expand and can show potential for sustained impact. This grant is not designed for capital campaigns or general fundraising; instead, it’s focused on initiatives with a direct connection to helping people achieve long-term economic stability.
While exact amounts can vary, grant awards generally fall within a range suitable for supporting one year of program costs. Organizations that receive this funding can expect support that helps them reach new participants, deepen their programming, or test innovative approaches to creating income-generating opportunities in their communities.
The grant is available once a year, during a defined application window, and requires that someone connected with the organization maintain an active relationship with a broader alumni network associated with the grantor.
Overall, this opportunity is ideal for nonprofits that are mission-driven, focused on economic inclusion, and ready to make a tangible difference in the lives of individuals looking to build brighter futures through work or entrepreneurship.
