Families and Workers Fund

Nontraditional Foundation grant

A pooled donor fund making grants and building partnerships in two areas: 21st Century Benefits, which works to streamline access to public benefits such as healthcare, childcare, and food assistance, and Uplifting Careers, which supports inclusive workforce development and employer investment in workers. Both lines routinely involve implementation research and evaluation partners.

Eligibility

The site does not publish eligibility criteria, grant guidelines, or an open application form. It invites grantseekers, prospective funders, and donors to make contact directly. Because guidelines are unpublished, a researcher should treat this as a relationship-first funder and approach through a workforce or benefits-access organization already in the portfolio rather than as a solo university applicant.
