The Sisters of Charity Foundation of Canton is offering capacity building grants of up to $15,000 to nonprofit organizations serving residents in Stark, Carroll, Holmes, Tuscarawas, and Wayne Counties in Ohio. These grants are specifically intended to help strengthen the organizational infrastructure of nonprofits that align with the Foundation's mission. The overarching goal is to enhance the sustainability and long-term organizational health of existing nonprofits by supporting projects that bolster strategic planning, leadership, program delivery, resource generation, internal operations, evaluation, and collaborative relationships.
Organizations may apply for funding to support efforts such as refining their strategic vision, strengthening governance and leadership structures, improving program delivery processes, generating new resources, or building more effective internal management systems. However, it's important to note that these grants do not typically cover personnel costs, the development or launch of new programs, capital expenditures, or expenses that the organization has previously budgeted.
Applications for capacity building grants are reviewed on a rolling basis, meaning there is no strict deadline for submissions. Nonprofits interested in this funding opportunity should focus their proposals on projects that have the potential to significantly impact their organizational strength and long-term sustainability.
This grant program presents a valuable opportunity for nonprofits in the specified counties to enhance their operational efficiency and overall effectiveness, ensuring they can continue serving their communities more effectively. Organizations that meet the geographic and mission alignment criteria are encouraged to apply for this funding to address their capacity-building needs.
