Capacity Building
The growth and development of nonprofits of all sizes and stages is supported through a range of opportunities designed to improve the mission delivery, quality, facilities, and finances of nonprofit programs and services.
Capacity building resources allow organizations to build and grow at a pace that's right for them. Historically, these resources have been inaccessible for small, community-based organizations, especially those led by women and people of color. The opportunities listed below aim to be flexible and responsive, with offerings for organizations of many sizes and stages.
Your nonprofit organization may apply for grants related to Capital Improvements, Sector Building, Social Enterprises, or Summer Fellowships, or participate in Educational Programs designed to help you fulfill your organizational mission.
GRANTS
Facilities and equipment are often crucial to the delivery of services. Whether your nonprofit is buying a new building, purchasing new equipment, or updating a facility, the Foundation is interested in learning more. Capital grants tend to range from $10,000 to $100,000.
Sector Building grants prioritize collaborative efforts that extend the reach of a nonprofit’s mission to better serve our community. These grants typically range from $20,000 to $100,000.
Through the sale of services or products, revenue fuels other programming opportunities for the nonprofit. Funding is available to support social enterprises operated by nonprofits.
Apply to host a Summer Fellow and help engage the next generation of nonprofit leaders through career-related work at a nonprofit host site over a 10-week period.
PROGRAMS & EVENTS
Program and project support are combined with knowledge, tools, and expertise to help nonprofit organizations thrive. Find and attend the next Nonprofit Forum or Giving Store workshop, or learn more about a cohort-style educational series.
