Workday Foundation’s giving is centered on helping adults build pathways into quality jobs, especially through reskilling, credentialing, and employment programs that support economic mobility for people left behind by traditional labor markets. A second major thread is social cohesion and humanitarian response: they also fund organizations working on pluralism, anti-hate efforts, and urgent relief in conflict-affected regions. Their portfolio suggests a values-driven corporate foundation that backs both workforce opportunity and broader efforts to reduce division and increase belonging.
Relatively concentrated giving with a small number of anchor grantees receiving the largest commitments, alongside many $100K grants to mission-aligned organizations. The foundation appears to favor repeat relationships for select partners while also making strategic one-off grants to expand its reach across workforce, inclusion, and relief efforts.
