Capacity Building grants are for efforts intended to strengthen organizations by expanding institutional knowledge, skills or abilities that will be maintained over time. This should ultimately lead to demonstrably better results for the people the organization serves. Examples of Capacity Building grants are support for strategic planning or professional development. Please note: organizations seeking support for new staff positions or program expansion should complete a Project Support grant application, and organizations seeking funding for new software, new hardware or capital expenses should complete a Capital Improvement grant application.
