Accelerating Innovative + Equitable Workforce Pathways Grant

Overview

Accelerating Innovative + Equitable Workforce Pathways Grant

Blue Grass Community Foundation, with support from the Walton Family Foundation, is offering a second round of a two-round funding opportunity aimed to foster the development of innovative education-to-workforce programs. Grant funds will support initiatives that prepare Fayette County students in grades 6-12 for in-demand, high-wage employment opportunities. BGCF is seeking proposals for new projects that bridge the gap between education and the workforce, with focus on addressing disparities due to socioeconomic status, gender, and/or race and ethnicity. Proposals with project budgets between $200,000 and $450,000 will be considered. Projects must be co-designed and co-implemented by at least two partner organizations representing different sectors (e.g., public, private, schools, nonprofits, and businesses). One or more grants totaling up to $450,000 will be awarded for the two-year grant cycle (March 1, 2025 – February 28, 2027).
