About Worknet Pinellas
Worknet Pinellas Inc’s recent grantmaking is anchored by a $1,000,000 general-support grant to Pinellas County in Clearwater, paired with large workforce awards to regional partners in Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Largo. That pattern fits the organization’s role as a local workforce funder serving job seekers and businesses across Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties. The grants point to a system-building approach rather than isolated project funding: the foundation backs employment training, career center operations, youth employment, and workforce intermediaries that connect employers with training providers. The organization’s largest recent awards also show how it uses funding to support the local workforce infrastructure. Tampa Bay Workforce Alliance Inc received $635,786 for support, while Sail Future Inc received $419,100 as a federal grant subrecipient for employment training. Pinellas Education Foundation also received a federal grant subrecipient award for employment training. In the same period, a smaller contract went to The Kaiser Group (de) LLC dba Dynamic for one-stop operator work, reinforcing the foundation’s emphasis on delivery partners that can run workforce services and administer public workforce programs.
What Worknet Pinellas Funds
Employment training is one of the clearest themes in the recent grants. Sail Future Inc received $419,100 for federal grant subrecipient employment training, and Pinellas Education Foundation received $157,410 for the same purpose. Those awards align with the foundation’s listed focus on job training and training-provider partnerships. The funder also supports workforce system operations. Tampa Bay Workforce Alliance Inc was awarded $635,786 for support, and The Kaiser Group (de) LLC dba Dynamic received $46,940 for federal grant subrecipient one stop operator work. That matches the organization’s emphasis on career center operations, labor market information, and employer toolkits. Youth and employer-focused programming appear in the active grant programs, including Summer P.A.Y.S., paid work experience, incumbent worker training, and apprenticeship support. Taken together, the grants and program list show a workforce intermediary funding both participants and the delivery system that serves them.

The recent list also includes a $1,000,000 award, which sits above that middle range.

Its classification is a regular funder, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The recent grants are all from 2025, so the provided data supports a current-year snapshot rather than a multi-year recurrence pattern.
