Community Foundation of Greenville is excited to announce the recipients of our 2025 Capacity Building Grants. A total of $150,000 was awarded this year to seventeen local nonprofits. These organizations will receive a grant to help with various capacity building projects, from technology upgrades to strategic planning efforts.
Capacity building efforts are often the first items cut from a nonprofit’s budget, so we are proud to support these important efforts to improve an organization’s ability to serve the community and create impact. Community Foundation allocates funds for these grants based on income generated by the Foundation’s unrestricted endowment and donor contributions.
