New Federal Nonprofit Capacity Building Program Issues First Grants

The National Council of Nonprofits congratulates the five recipients of the new Nonprofit Capacity Building Program grants: the Arizona Community Foundation (and its grant partner, the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits), the Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston, the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits, the United Way of the Bay Area, and the University of Central Florida.

The National Council is proud of its role in helping create this new program in the Edward M. Kennedy Serve American Act of 2009. Through this innovative matching grant program, nonprofit capacity builders in local communities have local dollars matched by federal investments to improve the ability of nonprofits to meet their missions.
