It is geared toward capacity building rather than direct programmatic funding. Eligible recipients are nonprofit organizations operating within the service area, with priority often given to smaller nonprofits that operate with limited budgets.
The funding is made available through several types of support, including technical assistance grants, executive transition grants, financial management grants, strategic technology grants, and evaluation capacity grants. Technical assistance grants are structured to underwrite consulting services that help with strategic planning, board development, human resource systems, fund development, marketing and communications planning, or exploration of collaborations and mergers. These funds are not intended for general operating expenses or work completed prior to approval.
Award levels vary based on the size of the applicant’s budget. Nonprofits with annual budgets under $1 million may receive up to $12,000, with additional implementation support of up to $3,500. Larger organizations are eligible for higher amounts, sometimes reaching $20,000 to $25,000, plus additional implementation support.
All funding must be directed toward consultant services, organizational assessment, planning, or systems improvements, rather than direct program costs. Applicants are expected to compare and select consultants carefully and to design projects that directly strengthen organizational capacity, leadership, or evaluation processes.
Recipients are required to provide follow-up reporting, including both narrative and financial documentation that demonstrates how the funds supported long-term resilience, governance improvements, and mission delivery. The goal of this funding is to create more effective and sustainable nonprofits, equipped with strong internal systems and leadership, capable of meeting community needs more effectively.
