Funding Strategy

A multi‑grant bundling model built for national scalability.

Our funding strategy uses national median benchmarks to ensure consistency across all sites. We bundle grants from USDA, EPA, DOE, DOJ, HUD, and foundations to cover startup costs ($600K–$950K per site) and annual operating costs ($325K–$475K per site).

Workforce Development:
At $850 per trainee annually, our programs deliver measurable outcomes aligned with WIOA, DOJ, and DOL workforce development grants.
