The Healey-Driscoll Administration is pleased to issue this Request for Proposals for the new Social Enterprise
Operating Grant Program. This grant is funded through the FY27 state operating budget. This competitive
grant program supports eligible Massachusetts nonprofit organizations that operate social enterprises and
provide paid employment, workforce development, and supportive services to individuals who face significant
barriers to employment.
This grant program is designed to strengthen employment social enterprises that sell goods or services while
creating equitable access to paid work, skill development, supportive services, and pathways to longer-term
employment. The program will prioritize applicants serving low-income communities, Gateway Cities, and
populations facing social and economic inequities.
For purposes of this RFP, an employment social enterprise is a formal business venture operated by a mission
driven nonprofit organization that produces and sells goods or services. The social enterprise must function as
a distinct business activity within or alongside the nonprofit; simply employing individuals in the nonprofit's
general offices, programs, or departments does not qualify. Its primary purpose must be to provide paid
employment and support to people who face barriers to employment.
