Description

The Women's Bureau, U.S. Department of Labor, announces the Fostering Access, Rights, and Education (FARE) grant program. This funding opportunity will allow award recipients to undertake projects to assist marginalized and underserved women workers in understanding and accessing their employment rights, public services, and benefits. The grants will build on the successes of recent promising initiatives to enlist trusted messengers and community groups to reach working women, including but not limited to women of color, women with disabilities, justice-impacted women, individuals who identify as LGBTQ, marginalized workers in female-dominated sectors hard-hit by the pandemic, ethnic minorities, immigrants, workers with limited English proficiency, older adults, and workers experiencing intimate partner violence, substance abuse issues, homelessness, or chronic poverty.
