Are Non-Profit Organizations eligible to apply for a grant through the Workforce Training Fund Program?

In order to be eligible for a grant, an organization must contribute to the Workforce Training Fund via a surcharge on Unemployment Insurance (UI) contributions. Some nonprofits contribute but others do not. This is determined by the method selected for UI coverage. Click here for more information. 

• Nonprofits that select the “contributory method” are paying into the WTFP and are therefore eligible to apply. 
• Nonprofits that select the “reimbursable method” are paying a discounted rate that does not include contribution to the WTFP and therefore are not eligible to apply.

To determine your contributory status, you can obtain a Certificate of Compliance from the DUA following these instructions- How can I obtain a Certificate of Compliance from the Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA)? : Commonwealth Corporation 

If your Certificate of Compliance says you contribute to the Workforce Training Fund, you are eligible.
