Capacity-Building Grant Program

This is our core grantmaking program.  It is designed to support strong nonprofits that are at a point of critical growth by strengthening the organizations’ core systems, skills, resources, knowledge, operation, and management practices to achieve its mission and build long-term sustainability. It is part of our ongoing goal to deepen our partnerships with nonprofits organizations by matching substantial funding with other critical support to achieve greater outcomes.

Women and Girls Fund Grant Program

This program supports nonprofit organizations serving women and girls across Cape Cod. While there is much we can work on together, we determined that our first grant cycles would focus on helping to break the cycle of poverty by increasing economic opportunity and self-sufficiency for women through trainings and educational programs and break down barriers for girls by providing new, expanded, or more accessible educational, out-of-school programs, and mentorship opportunities.

Flexible Funding Grant Program

This program was introduced in 2025 to help nonprofit organizations that are experiencing changes in funding due to the end of pandemic-era funding or changes in the current funding environment.  It is open to recipients who received grants from our Strategic Emergency Response Fund from 2020-2024 and those working in other areas we have available discretionary resources.
