Capacity Building Program - Mini-Grants

Waco Foundation provides assistance to nonprofit coalitions and individual nonprofit organizations implementing high impact projects through our Capacity Building Program.  We award mini-grants (up to $2,500) to nonprofits seeking guidance or expertise in the following areas such as organizational assessments, board training and strategic planning, but there is a wide range of topics that can be served with a capacity building grant.  Grants support up to 90% of total costs, which are typically paid to consultants or as fees for participation in training or events.
