Description
The Capacity Building program from the Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment is designed to help nonprofit organizations strengthen their internal operations and infrastructure. These grants address operational needs that are often overlooked by other funders, such as technology upgrades, professional development, DEIJ (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice) initiatives, tax and audit preparation, office improvements, and compensation data access. The program aims to empower nonprofits—especially current grantees—to operate more efficiently and equitably, ultimately enhancing their ability to serve their communities and fulfill their missions.
