What are Capacity Grants?
Capacity grants are intended to strengthen organizations so they can better meet strategic goals and long-term objectives. GLCF encourages applications for projects that improve organizational effectiveness through technology, staff training and development, technical assistance, improved financial systems, strategic partnership or collaboration with another organization, diversifying or developing new funding sources, and strategic planning.
