Capital grants

The Foundation will consider grants for building construction, renovation and specialized equipment. Decisions are based on Foundation priorities, degree of community need, potential impact, and a determination of whether the Foundation can make a significant difference in the proposed project.

Please note: 
Capital grants are reviewed only at the June board meeting.

Key Factors in Evaluating Proposals

• Capacity of the organization to undertake the project
• Extent that the project builds upon existing resources and services
• Quality and effectiveness of the project
• Level of coordination and cooperation with other organizations
• Potential for leveraged funding, especially from national sources
• Opportunity for project replication by other organizations
• A plan for continued funding after the grant period
