About Solano County Private Industry Council
Solano County Private Industry Council Inc. directs most of its recent grantmaking toward workforce development in Solano County, with large awards that combine service delivery, employer support, and training infrastructure. One of the clearest signals is its funding for small business recovery: in 2024 it awarded $1,166,250 to Aggregate Businesses Under 5000 for 367 small business grantees, followed in 2025 by $529,015 for another 165 small businesses as part of COVID recovery. The foundation also backs community workforce providers such as Mission Samoa in Fairfield, which received $252,719 in 2025 for community workforce services and workforce services for justice-involved individuals, and Center for Urban Excellence in Vallejo, which received $176,156 for community workforce services. The grant record shows a funder working through contracts, wage matches, and targeted service grants rather than through individual awards. Its public program list includes on-the-job training wage matches, subsidized employment, customized training, incumbent worker training, nonprofit infrastructure support, and RFP/RFQ opportunities for service providers. Across those programs and grants, the emphasis stays on helping employers hire, helping workers build skills, and helping local organizations deliver services.
