About Workforce Development Grants for 501(c)(3) Public Charity

A notable feature of workforce development funding for public charities is the relatively low cost-sharing requirement—only 17% of grants demand matching funds, making these opportunities more accessible than many federal programs. 7,381 active grants in this category are led by top funders including the National Institutes of Health, Health Resources and Services Administration, and Administration for Community Living, reflecting strong federal investment in building skilled workforces across healthcare and community sectors.

Most awards fall between $460,000 and $1.0 million, with 94% awarded through competitive application processes. These grants typically support capacity building, training, and program development over multi-year periods. To refine your search, filter by support type—selecting "Training" will help identify grants specifically designed to fund workforce skill-building initiatives rather than broader organizational development.
