Types of Grants
- Nonprofit Capacity Building Grants
- Generally, capacity building grants are not about expanding an organization’s services, adding a new program, or renovating facilities. They are about strengthening an organization’s infrastructure, management, and/or governance. Through these grants, the Foundation seeks to strengthen the efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability of organizations serving the community.
- Requests may be up to $10,000.
- Projects may include strategic planning, marketing, board development, fundraising, certification programs or equipment and software updates.
- Mini Grants
- Does your organization have a smaller project, short-term program, or unplanned opportunity that requires immediate funding or seed money that will lead to a large impact? Consider applying for a mini grant.
- Mini grants also present a compelling option for newer nonprofit organizations, or those who haven’t previously applied for a grant award from the Foundation.
- Requests may be up to $5,000.
- Crisis Grants
- Crisis grants are intended to help organizations who are facing a sudden expense(s) for which they were unable to prepare for and could quickly affect their ability to carry out their core mission.
- Requests may be up to $5,000.
Eligibility Requirements

- Address a community problem or special project of some significance for which funding is needed but not available through the organization’s regular budget;
- Present an innovative and practical approach to a community problem or project;
- Show evidence of the qualifications and stability of the applicant organization.
