Professional education is a crucial element of workforce development and economic mobility. Being able to upskill or reskill is key for career advancement, as well as career protection in a changing world. There are many nonprofits that work in this space, funding through professional education grants. 

These grants can be put towards a wide range of purposes - such as adult tuition, funding of learning practices and the support of scholarships, internships and apprenticeships. There are many different organizations that might write these kinds of grants. This includes many private foundations, such as the Ascendium Education Group. 

When drafting a professional education grant, it's imperative to use data to illustrate the good your nonprofit could do. You should be prepared with data on local or regional workforce gaps, the demographics of your target population, and ideally with employment outcomes for those you have already aided in the past.
