The Standard Capacity Building Grant supports nonprofits in specific focus areas to enhance management, governance, and organizational capacity through engagement with outside consultants. Funded activities include strategic planning, financial and evaluation planning, program development, communications, resource development, human resources, IT management, board development, restructuring, and leadership development. Grants provide up to $25,000 for one year, covering consultant fees and related direct costs. Applicants must demonstrate consultant vetting and submit detailed proposals.
Eligible nonprofits must have completed at least one year of prior funding, have annual budgets between $75,000 and $5 million for the last three years, and operate within specified focus areas. Applications must be submitted by nonprofit leadership after vetting consultants.
