Strengthening Capacity Grant
In this new post-pandemic landscape, this funding aims to equip nonprofits in successfully navigating future challenges in order to fulfill their vision and mission more effectively.
Purpose
The one-time Strengthening Capacity Grant is a funding project that aims to bolster the effectiveness of Utah-based nonprofit organizations by investing in their internal processes and procedures. Many of the emergency assistance grant opportunities related to the pandemic have now concluded. Although these grants offered a temporary lifeline, a significant number of them did not facilitate capacity-building initiatives aimed at fortifying nonprofits internally.
Building capacity within nonprofits in this new post-pandemic landscape is important in strengthening organizational health, which in turn supports the services delivered to the broader community. The funding is actively dedicated to aiding nonprofit organizations in crafting an efficient and enduring strategy.
We offer special thanks to IKEA for their collaboration in making this grant opportunity possible.
