Community Workforce Partnerships Grant is sponsored by Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This competitive workforce development grant program funds community-driven responses to community-defined economic opportunities within Massachusetts. It prioritizes projects that help people find new or better employment, particularly in growing industries, or improve small business acumen within a year. The program aims to strengthen workforce opportunities for low-income communities and vulnerable youth and young adults, promoting stable employment and wage growth. Successful applications typically come from multiple organizations collaborating in a single city, town, or neighborhood. While not exclusively focused on open-source hardware/software, projects that integrate these technologies for workforce development in growing industries or maker communities could be a strong fit.

Nearly every grant now flows as unrestricted general operating support — the funding nonprofits ask for most and receive least. For eligible Massachusetts organizations, the 2027 cycle opens July 15 with a September 16 letter-of-inquiry deadline.
