LWP’s stated mission is to meet the workforce needs of employers and individuals through partnerships and innovation.

In 2025, LWP’s listed grants were designated for employment and training. Among the grantees described in their own statements, Connected Lane County says it works to improve outcomes for underserved youth and prepare them for life beyond high school. Nurturely says it promotes equity in perinatal wellness and support for infants and caregivers. Oregon Hospitality Foundation describes its mission as supporting educational opportunities and the economic vitality of Oregon’s hospitality industry. Opportunity Oregon says it works to find employment for justice-involved individuals.
