Apply for Nonprofit Capacity Building Grant
Posted: August 1, 2024
Gwinnett is now accepting applications for its Nonprofit Capacity Building Grant through August 30. The grant program provides financial assistance to nonprofits negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Board of Commissioners allocated $5 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to help nonprofits increase their effectiveness and enhance their impact on the community.
In alignment with the County’s Human Services Strategic Plan, funding will be awarded to organizations providing services in food security, housing, health and wellness, youth, literacy, and learning, and cross-cutting barriers to access like transportation or culturally and linguistically responsive services.
Two funding opportunities:
Nonprofits can apply for capital support or operational support.
- Capital support focuses on projects that improve capacity by fulfilling a capital need, such as equipment, software solutions, and vehicles.
- Operational support focuses on providing technical assistance and learning modules to grow the organization’s capacity.
Applications can be submitted until August 30 and can be accessed in the grant application portal. Applicants must register with GovGrants to submit an application.
