Description
This grant opportunity, offered by the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation, supports organizations and programs that assist older women (ages 40+) and gender-expansive individuals in overcoming societal barriers—such as gender discrimination and ageism—as they re-enter the workforce. The Foundation prioritizes comprehensive re-entry support that goes beyond basic computer training, such as start-up programs, career workshops, technological access, and confidence-building resources. There is a strong emphasis on serving women and gender-expansive individuals of color, and on supporting organizations that integrate intersectional feminist principles and gender equity into their operations and programming.
