Details:
The goal of this grant program is to provide financial support for nonprofits in the City of Terre Haute to respond to the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted nearly all aspects of support services from local community nonprofits, increasing needs in programing and staffing while crippling fundraising efforts. These grants are intended to help alleviate the pressure of operational supports for nonprofits and allow them to build capacity and organizational development that responds and adapts to the growing needs of the most vulnerable in the City of Terre Haute. These grants are designed to help organizations work more efficiently and effectively and are meant to aid development at a structural level, increasing an organization’s ability to deliver on its mission over time. They are not intended to cover routine core operating expenses nor provide ongoing programmatic support.
Capacity building and organizational development are not just about the capacity of a nonprofit today: they’re about the nonprofit’s ability to deliver on its mission effectively now and in the future. Capacity building is an investment in the effectiveness and future sustainability of a nonprofit.
