Last week, the U.S. Department of Labor announced two funding opportunities of $7 million for up to 21 grants to help women succeed in the workplace. Administered jointly by the Department’s Women’s Bureau and the Employment and Training Administration, the Fostering Access, Rights and Equity Grant Program helps survivors and women at high risk for workplace violence and harassment. FARE grants fund community organizations’ efforts to improve job quality through projects that address harmful workplace norms and employ strategies to prevent and reduce gender-based violence and harassment.
Workplace violence and harassment harms women from underserved and historically marginalized communities disproportionately. These communities include women of color, LGBTQI+ people, women with disabilities and women affected by persistent poverty and inequality.
Apply for the 2024 FARE grant at grants.gov by May 28, 2024

Administered by the Department’s Women’s Bureau and Employment and Training Administration, the Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations (WANTO) grant program supports community-based organizations in their efforts to recruit, train, and retain more women in Registered Apprenticeships and nontraditional occupations.
This funding opportunity will help address the significant underrepresentation of women in Registered Apprenticeship in skilled trades, such as construction, and in emerging, high-growth industries like manufacturing, infrastructure, cybersecurity and healthcare. Currently, women only comprise approximately 14 percent of Registered Apprentices while they account for nearly half the U.S. labor force.
