Description

The Small Capacity Building Grant Program is designed to help nonprofit organizations serving Santa Barbara County enhance their core organizational capacity and effectiveness. Funding is available for a range of projects such as strategic planning, leadership development, collaborative learning, readiness and sustainability preparation, small capital items, and defined projects in marketing, communications, or program design. The program's intent is to build strong, resilient organizations rather than to support ongoing program expenses or staff salaries.

The grant is highly competitive, with a focus on supporting projects that demonstrate clear need, organizational readiness, and a commitment to strengthening the nonprofit's ability to fulfill its mission.
