About economic services grants

Economic services grants support programs that build financial stability for low-income individuals and families, including workforce development, financial coaching, asset-building, and emergency assistance. The Community Services Block Grant, administered by HHS's Office of Community Services, funds income and asset-building services through local Community Action Agencies. HUD's Community Development Block Grant also funds micro-enterprise and economic-opportunity activities, and foundations back economic-mobility initiatives.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow economic services grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

What economic services grants are available?

Funding supports employment and job-training programs, financial education and coaching, asset- and income-building services, micro-enterprise development, and emergency financial assistance. The Community Services Block Grant funds income and asset-building work, while the Community Development Block Grant supports business and micro-enterprise assistance. Foundations and corporate funders also invest in economic-mobility programs.

Who funds economic services and economic mobility programs?

Federal funding comes largely through HHS's Community Services Block Grant and HUD's Community Development Block Grant, both of which reach nonprofits through states and local governments. The U.S. Treasury's CDFI Fund supports lending and asset-building in underserved areas, and private funders such as the Annie E. Casey Foundation invest in increasing economic opportunity. State workforce and human-services agencies fund job-training programs.

Are there grants for workforce and job-training programs?

Yes. Workforce development is funded through several channels, including state workforce agencies, Community Services Block Grant employment services, and dedicated federal labor programs. Many nonprofits partner with local workforce boards or Community Action Agencies to access these funds. Strong applications typically show measurable employment outcomes and partnerships with employers.
