The purpose of the Capital Grant is to make a significant contribution towards a tangible and enduring (useful life of at least 3-5 years) capital need.

PCF welcomes grant applications from qualified organizations serving the Pasadena, Altadena, and Sierra Madre area.

- Capital Campaign Grant requests may be submitted for $50,000.
Geographic Restriction
The applicant organization must be in and provide significant service to the area defined by the boundaries of the Pasadena Unified School District (Pasadena, Altadena & Sierra Madre). Any equipment or capital refurbishment paid for with PCF grant funds must specifically serve Pasadena-area residents.
Eligibility Criteria
If your organization was awarded a 2022 Capital Grant, you are not eligible to apply for a Capital Grant in 2023. Organizations that were denied in 2022 can apply in 2023.
- Grants may be made only to tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) or 170(c)(1) or (2)(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. None shall be made to Private Foundations under Section 509(1) of the Code.
- An organization must have been in existence for at least two years (based on the ruling date of the IRS determination letter) and have achieved a record of effective service and sustainability. Organizations currently operating under a Fiscal Sponsor must have a strong record of operations, fundraising and implementation of programs for at least four years. Recently registered 501(c)3 organizations with less than two years but with fiscally sponsored operating history as described above are also eligible to apply.
- All previous grants awarded by PCF to prospective applicants must be in good standing. A grantee with an “open” grant will not be eligible for new funding. Grantees who have not complied with previous grant deadlines, reporting or submission of receipts may not be eligible for new grant consideration.
