Grantseekers still have the incorrect notion that capital funds are those unattainable dollars reserved for the select few. The truth is federal and private funders are increasingly loosening their funding priorities to offer capital funding. Yes, even federal agencies are warming to capital projects funding for trending issues including manufacturing innovations, homeless, creative placemaking and minority/higher education achievement.
Grantseekers need to know where to look for funding, what to say when reaching out to decision-makers and what to include in applications to secure these capital funds. Did you know that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, mostly known for its grant-making to improve K-12 education, also funds a large number of grants supporting capital and building/renovation campaigns.
