Exposure
Events, site visits and career information that make real careers visible to people who have never encountered them.
Give
Your gift buys someone a first step.
Charitable support for WorkforceConnect goes to the practical things that decide whether a person reaches a career: seeing the work, affording the entry, and knowing someone who can point the way.
Why giving matters
The barriers are small, specific and expensive
Very few people miss out on a career because they lacked ability. They miss out because a fee came due, a program was invisible, transportation didn't work, or nobody in their life had ever done this job. Charitable giving is how those gaps get closed.
Direct cost support
Scholarships and the fees, tools and materials that quietly disqualify people before they start. Cassandra Walker-Nolin Scholarship applications return January 2027.
Connection
The convening and relationship-building that links a person to the program, and the program to the region.
Ways to support
Three ways to give
Charitable giving and commercial services are entirely separate at WorkforceConnect. A gift is a gift — it does not purchase postings, data, packages or a seat at the table.
Give to expand access
An unrestricted charitable gift, one time or recurring. It goes where the barrier is — the exposure event, the fee, the tool, the connection.
Charitable gift. No benefits are exchanged.
Fund a specific barrier
Direct your gift to a named need such as the scholarship fund or career-exploration programming, and we will report on that need specifically.
Charitable gift, restricted to a stated purpose.
Corporate and foundation philanthropy
Multi-year or program-level philanthropic support from companies and foundations that want access to opportunity to be the outcome.
Recognition is limited to name and logo listing and event acknowledgment — no job postings, no candidate data, no advisory seats, nothing purchased.

Our commitment
What a gift to WorkforceConnect never buys
The nonprofit does not sell commercial benefits and does not describe commercial services as charitable giving.
- Job postings or recruiting services
- Access to candidate data or resumes
- Marketing or sponsorship packages
- Board or advisory-board participation
- Subscription tiers of any kind
- Influence over scholarship or program decisions
Employers seeking workforce strategy, pathway design or program development work with WorkforceConnect Group, a separate company. That is a commercial relationship, not a charitable gift.
