• BIPOC Populations (Black, Indigenous, and people of color)
• Women
• Returning Citizens
• Immigrants
• Other underserved populations

RFP Priority Focus Areas:

The Foundation will accept grant proposals that focus on one or more of the following areas:

1. Wraparound Supports – Funding to provide wrap around supports for low-income workers and job seekers that are needed for them to successfully participate in and complete skills based training/short-term vocational training programs for careers in industry growth sectors, and obtain and maintain quality jobs.
2. Bioscience/Biomedical Careers – Occupations in bioscience/biomedical careers currently require a minimum of a four-year college degree and experiential learning beyond traditional classroom and laboratory environment.
