FY23 congressional community project for generation west virginia

This Project Grant award of $206,000.00 from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of the Chief Operating Officer supports Generation West Virginia Inc., a non-profit organization, in delivering programmatic and construction activities, job training programs, clean energy and green economy projects, and broadband access planning to advance economic opportunity in local communities in West Virginia.

The funding is provided through the SBA's Congressional Grants program (CFDA 59.059), which aims to support small business development and entrepreneurship initiatives. Past federal awards to Generation West Virginia have enabled the organization to bolster entrepreneurship and organizational capacity, provide software job training through the NewForce program, and assist communities in planning for broadband access expansion. This latest grant will allow Generation West Virginia to continue its efforts to create economic mobility for underemployed and marginalized groups through skills training, job creation, and capacity building projects in various sectors.
