Understanding and Maximizing Capacity-Building Grants

Understanding and Maximizing Capacity-Building Grants Brief Description: Learn how to identify your capacity-building needs and leverage grant dollars to support your organization for years to come. Grants should only be one part of your funding plans, but they can be well worth the time commitment required, if cultivated correctly. Often grants, especially matching grants, can help leverage your hard work to increase sustainability. This makes matching grants an ideal funding stream for long-term growth.
