SOWIB is looking to award up to $3 million dollars in this funding cycle through a mix of competitive grants that fall into two categories:

-Small grants of up to $250k

-Large grants ranging from $300k-$1,000,000

-Coos, Curry, or Douglas counties. Choose to offer service in any or all counties.

-Previous experience with State and Federal Workforce Programs (WIOA) is not required.

 

We are looking for service providers of all sizes, from a 1-person operation to a team of 100 and everything in between. We have created a very short, simplified application process allowing you quickly answer the most important question. “How could your organization use additional funds innovatively to connect individuals to competitive employment”.

 

We are looking for programs that provide outside-the-box solutions that help connect any population, especially those that often face disproportionated barriers to participating in the workforce.
