To connect jobseekers, youth and incumbent workers with employers through workforce development, training, and support services that strengthen the regional economy of the Treasure Coast.
Workforce Development Board of the Treasure Coast Inc’s recent grantmaking is centered on WIOA youth services, with three large contracts to Eckerd Youth Alternatives Inc across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern shows a funder working through contracted service delivery rather than a broad open grant pool, using public workforce dollars to support jobseekers, youth, and employers in the Treasure Coast region. The organization’s stated purpose is to connect jobseekers, youth, and incumbent workers with employers through workforce development, training, and support services that strengthen the regional economy. Its recent awards also include a contract for one-stop operator services to Workforce Coordination Consulting in Port Saint Lucie. Together, these grants point to a board that funds system operation as well as direct participant services. The foundation’s beneficiary groups include WIOA-eligible youth, out-of-school youth, in-school low-income youth, at-risk youth, and young adults who are unemployed or underemployed. Employer services and partnerships are part of the model, alongside career counseling, placement, and work readiness support.
Youth workforce development is the clearest emphasis in the recent grant record. In 2025, the board awarded $756,710 to Eckerd Youth Alternatives Inc for WIOA youth services contract, following similar awards of $721,882 in 2024 and $736,351 in 2023 for the same purpose. The organization also funds workforce system coordination. It gave $29,442 to Workforce Coordination Consulting in Port Saint Lucie for one stop operator services, linking the grantmaking to local workforce navigation and service integration. Across its active programs, the board supports on-the-job training, employer incentives, apprenticeships, training provider contracts, rapid response services, and job posting support. Those program areas align with job placement and employer linkages, work-based learning, and skills development for people moving into or up within the labor market.
Typical grants are large relative to the foundation’s overall annual giving: p25 is $548,772, median is $729,116, and p75 is $741,441. The recent record suggests repeated, multi-year contracting rather than one-off awards; Eckerd Youth Alternatives Inc appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for the same WIOA youth services contract. The funder is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are not part of several core programs, though some service pages do accept submissions.
