Capacity Building Grants
The Congdon Foundation developed the Capacity Building Grants Program to address a common desire among our partner nonprofits to do more, to do better, and to be sustainable.
The Capacity Building Grants are intended to fund efforts like: adding staff, expanding facilities, building out digital infrastructure, enlisting consultants or other professionals, enhancing fundraising or marketing efforts, creating programs, and developing leadership.
As a family rooted in High Point, NC, the grantmaking work of the foundation is restricted to 501(c)3 nonprofits in the Greater High Point area.
