Capacity Building Fund
Our Capacity Building Fund is a specific type of grant meant to strengthen an organization’s systems and thereby increase its effectiveness. Unlike our project-based grants, the capacity-building funding responds to internal, organizational needs that impact a nonprofit’s stability, efficiency, and future success.
In addition to our capacity building fund, SCCF has a strategic partnership with the University of the South to sponsor AmeriCorps volunteers who work for local non-profits. LEARN MORE>

A longer version if you do not wish to use Guidestar is at this link.
In either case, be sure to gather all the materials you need before filling out the form. Neither allow for drafts.
