About this program
The Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration operates the Green Jobs Innovation Fund (CFDA 17.279), a program that has not awarded grants since July 1, 2011—15 years ago—and shows no current open grant opportunities. Do not pursue this program at present.
The program funded workforce development initiatives in green industries including energy efficiency, renewable energy, transportation, green construction, environmental protection, sustainable agriculture, forestry, and recycling. Funded grants provided technical and basic skills training through community-based partnerships and forged linkages between Registered Apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs to place workers in green career pathways across multiple geographic locations. The most recent solicitation, posted February 23, 2011 (SGA-DFA-PY-10-07), offered approximately $40 million and closed March 29, 2011.
All six recorded awards were disbursed on July 1, 2011, representing the entirety of the program's recorded grant activity. The awards were structured as Project Grants exclusively and totaled $37 million in federal obligations. Representative recent awards include a $7.96 million grant and a $7.88 million grant, both obligated July 1, 2011 and completing in 2014, alongside a $5.94 million award. The Department of Labor served as the sole funding agency across all six grants.
The program's last application deadline was mid-2011. No recent grant opportunities, no active funding announcements, and no post-2011 grant awards indicate this program is inactive. The source provides no evidence of resumed or planned funding cycles. Organizations should verify current program status directly with the Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration before investing business development resources.
