The National Fund for Workforce Solutions: A History of Collaboration

In 2007, several national foundations and the U.S. Department of Labor launched the National Fund for Workforce Solutions, a $30 million effort to strengthen and expand high-impact workforce development initiatives across the country. The National Fund, which builds on years of important work by many people and institutions both national and local, has the potential to play a major role in improving how workforce development services are funded and delivered. This report traces how national foundations, smaller local foundations, and government agencies helped to shape this new national workforce development initiative.
