Advancing Nonprofits offers the AMPT grant, a capacity-building initiative designed to strengthen the organizational health and long-term development of small nonprofits on Chicago’s West and South sides. The grant program directly aligns with Advancing Nonprofits' mission to support and empower Black/Latinx leaders and communities.

The grant prioritizes projects that enhance organizational capacity, such as supplementing program expenses, developing new programs, providing professional development for staff, or covering fees related to hiring external consultants. This focus aims to build stronger, more resilient organizations capable of effectively serving their communities. The expected outcomes include increased organizational stability, enhanced program delivery, and the development of leadership skills within beneficiary organizations. The Advancing Nonprofits' strategic priorities and theory of change are centered on the belief that by investing in and empowering Black/Latinx-led nonprofits, systemic racial inequities can be addressed, and communities of color can achieve greater well-being and power. The $5,000 capacity-building grant is a direct mechanism to support these organizations, enabling them to expand their reach and impact. Measurable results would include the successful implementation of funded projects, improvements in organizational capacity, and ultimately, a positive impact on the communities served by these strengthened nonprofits.
