As nonprofits face unprecedented funding cuts, it is harder than ever to secure support to keep the lights on, let alone for growth and expansion.
Yet capacity-building grants are an excellent way to take your organization to the next level. They can help build infrastructure, develop staff and boards, or pilot a new initiative.
As grant makers rethink how to get money to the field quickly and effectively amid so much disruption, some funders are giving more capacity-building grants.
How can you access capacity-building grants that enable your nonprofit to not just survive but thrive?
In this 75-minute webinar, you’ll learn directly from two funders who invest in organizational capacity: a chief officer at a regional foundation and the CEO of a national membership association.
You’ll learn:
- How to identify capacity-building grant makers and determine if your nonprofit is a fit for their support
- Ways to craft compelling proposals while avoiding common pitfalls
- How to build relationships with nonprofit associations that offer grants to members
Whether you’re exploring your first capacity-building grant or refining your next proposal, this session will equip you with practical insights, a proposal prep checklist, and actionable steps to move forward.
