Capacity-Building Mini-Grants
At the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg, we view capacity building in the nonprofit sector as a continuous improvement strategy aimed at maximizing the potential of Pinellas County organizations to pursue their missions and serve the community at the highest level possible. To understand how to support local nonprofits, we do our best to listen to what you tell us about your goals, challenges, needs and successes.
Capacity-Building Mini-Grants are designed to support nonprofits of all sizes to invest in short-term activities and projects that strengthen the organization and improve their impact, efficiency and/or effectiveness in the community. The grants range from $10,000 to $20,000 and the duration of funded projects is expected to range from three to nine months.
