It’s an old adage that you need to spend money to make money. But old adages earn their places for a reason. Nonprofits in particular are in constant need of funding, particularly the more complex and comprehensive their mission is. Once a nonprofit has things like property and methods of revenue, it can become, in part, self-sustaining.

But it is getting this initial capital that can be difficult. This is why there are many nonprofit grants that are designed around providing nonprofits with the capital they need to start achieving their dreams. These grants can be used for a variety of essential capital purchases - from new or renovated facilities to the purchase of project-critical equipment or software.

These kinds of capital grants and building funds come from a wide range of sources. These can include both state and local development programs, as well as private and community foundations. When applying for capital grants and building funds, it's important to focus on clearly delineating the vision for your nonprofit. You need to crunch the numbers to demonstrate how the capital purchases or specific facilities will benefit your overall mission.
