Over eighty representatives from nearly sixty local charitable organizations attended a capacity building grants workshop on January 17 at the Southpointe Golf Club. The workshop was hosted by the Washington County Community Foundation (WCCF) to help local charities learn more about the new grants initiative from the WCCF’s Community CARE Fund (CCF).
With this initiative, the objective is to help strengthen the infrastructure, management and governance of local charities, through grants to support the charity itself. Any activity that increases the charity’s operational, programmatic, financial, or organizational maturity will be considered. CCF capacity building grants will normally range from $25,000 to $50,000, and may be paid over a period of years. Up to $1,000,000 will be issued in CCF capacity building grants during this initiative.
