Opportunity Information: Apply for FOA WB 24 01
The FY 24 Fostering Access, Rights and Equity (FARE) Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number FOA WB 24 01) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau. It is designed to fund projects that help marginalized and underserved women workers who have experienced gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) connected to the world of work. In this context, the "world of work" is defined broadly to include misconduct or harm that happens during work, is linked with work, or arises out of work, capturing issues that can occur on worksites, during work-related travel, in training settings, or in other job-connected environments. The program recognizes that GBVH is widespread across industries and can severely undermine women's safety, stability, and economic security.
The core purpose of the program is to support practical, worker-centered efforts to prevent GBVH and to respond effectively when it occurs. Funded projects are expected to help survivors and impacted workers navigate the real-world fallout that often accompanies GBVH, including lost income, job instability, retaliation, and the loss of workplace rights and benefits. The program emphasizes connecting women workers to the protections and resources already available through federal and state workplace rights systems, while also helping communities and workplaces shift norms that allow harassment and violence to persist. In other words, the work is meant to combine immediate support and navigation help for workers with longer-term prevention and culture-change strategies.
Competitive applicants are expected to demonstrate deep, credible ties to the women most affected, including underserved and marginalized groups that are disproportionately impacted by GBVH. The opportunity specifically anticipates applicants such as community-based organizations, worker groups, unions, and other nonprofit organizations that already have trust and reach in the communities they propose to serve. In the project narrative, applicants should be prepared to show both relationship-based access to the target population and the practical capacity to deliver the project quickly and effectively. The program also strongly signals that approaches should be trauma-informed and survivor-centered, meaning services and activities should prioritize safety, choice, confidentiality, empowerment, and sensitivity to the effects of trauma, rather than placing burdens on survivors or using one-size-fits-all interventions.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, including nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). The funding instrument is a grant under the Employment, Labor and Training activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 17.700. The program anticipates making about four awards, with an award ceiling of $350,000 per award. The opportunity was created on April 11, 2024, and the original closing date for applications was May 28, 2024.
Overall, the FARE program is structured to fund organizations that can translate trusted community relationships into concrete improvements for women workers facing GBVH: raising awareness of rights, improving access to benefits and legal/workplace protections, and implementing strategies driven by workers and survivors to reduce harm and change workplace expectations and norms. The grant places a premium on credibility with the affected communities, demonstrated expertise in survivor-centered practice, and readiness to implement without long ramp-up periods.Apply for FOA WB 24 01
