Funded Projects - Capacity Building Initiative

This portfolio focuses on longer-term solutions for Wake County agencies through offering resources to invest in activities to build capacity.  The purpose of this initiative is two-fold:

  1. To strengthen the capacity of nonprofits that address the health-related needs of underserved children and youth in Wake County, and thus
  2. Ensure that organizations can sustain the work that is a match with the Endowment's mission of improving the health and well-being of children and youth.

Agencies may apply for either an organizational assessment or a capacity-building grant.
