The Capacity Building Initiative provides support to health-focused nonprofit organizations for organizational improvement projects. It currently is accepting applications. You can view the Request for Proposal here.
The Capacity Building Initiative uses a one-stage application process that consists of submitting a full application. An applicant does not need to submit a Letter of Inquiry. A potential applicant should review the Criteria to ensure that your organization meets the Pallottine Foundation of Huntington’s basic eligibility requirements. Additionally, you should review the Capacity Building Focus Area to ensure your proposed project is appropriately aligned. Organizations that received funding through the Foundation’s 2019-2020 Capacity Building Initiative are eligible to apply again for 2020 – 2021 Capacity Building Initiative funding.
