Description
The Campbell Foundation's Capacity Building program provides targeted operational support grants to nonprofit organizations, aiming to address critical needs that are often overlooked by other funders. The program supports a wide range of capacity-building activities, including professional development for staff, diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) initiatives, technology assessments and upgrades, tax and audit preparation, access to nonprofit compensation reports, and office workspace improvements. The overarching goal is to empower nonprofits to operate more efficiently and equitably, ultimately fostering more equitable, livable, and vibrant communities. Priority is given to smaller-budget organizations that are already part of the Foundation's grantee portfolio.
