About Center for Workforce Inclusion
Center for Workforce Inclusion Inc. centers its grantmaking on a single labor-market objective: connecting experienced Americans with employers in all 50 states. The largest recent awards in the data are multiyear-scale grants for recruitment, training, and job placement of seniors, including $7,992,397 in 2023 and $7,502,322 in 2024 to Motivation Education and Training Inc. in New Caney, Texas. Similar senior-employment awards also went to Chinese-American Planning Council Inc. in New York and East Side Neighborhood Service Inc. in Minneapolis, showing a broad network of local operators delivering older-worker services. The foundation’s work is strongly programmatic. Its active grants include the Senior Community Service Employment Program, which funds part-time community service employment, subsidized work experience, skills development, and job placement for unemployed, low-income adults age 55+ through nonprofit subgrantees. It also supports employer-facing matching through ReadyBlueprint by CWI Works and federal placement work through the EPA Senior Environmental Employment Program. Across the grant list, the same theme repeats: older adults, especially seniors and other job-seekers re-entering work, are placed into training and employment pipelines rather than receiving one-off awards for general operating support.
What Center for Workforce Inclusion Funds
In senior workforce development, Center for Workforce Inclusion Inc. backs large, county- and organization-level programs that recruit, train, and place older workers.

East Tn Human Resource Agency in Knoxville received $747,372 in 2024 for recruitment, training, and job placement of seniors, and Meritan Inc. in Memphis received $717,818 in 2024 for the same work. A separate strand reaches aging-service providers.
