Capacity Building Grant Opportunities 

Grant applications are now open to nonprofit organizations working within Arizona to address housing instability and homelessness. There are two grant opportunities available to support capacity-building efforts among 501(c)(3) organizations serving Arizona residents; details for both are below.

The Infrastructure Improvements Capacity Building grants will be awarded at $10,000 each for a six-month grant period (January – June 2024).

Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply for support of employee recruitment and retention efforts, Diversity, Equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, technological improvements to bolster program service delivery, and/or other efforts unique to the work of the organization. No organization may submit more than one application for funding for capacity-building support.

The Innovations for Impact Capacity Building grant applications are designed to fund larger capacity-building efforts such as pilot programs aimed at increased or improved capacity to address homelessness and/or housing instability.

Applicants must request a grant between $100,000 and $350,000. The grant period is one year (January – December 2024). Grant funds must be spent by December 31, 2024. No organization may submit more than one application for capacity-building support.
