Description
The Capacity Building program from the C. E. and S. Foundation is designed to help nonprofit organizations address critical operational needs that are often underfunded. The program provides targeted grants to current grantees, enabling them to invest in upgrades and improvements that enhance organizational efficiency, equity, and sustainability. Supported activities include technology assessments and upgrades, professional development, diversity/equity/inclusion/justice (DEIJ) initiatives, workspace improvements, tax and audit preparation, and access to compensation benchmarking resources.
