Delaware nonprofits can now apply for the Delaware Community Foundation’s 2019 Capital Grants.
Capital grants target projects with lasting, positive impact.They fund construction, renovation or repair of buildings, and/or land purchases. They typically range from $5,000 to $20,000. For 2019, approximately $250,000 will be awarded to qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
“Capital grants enable nonprofit organizations to complete work that will benefit their communities for years to come,” DCF President and CEO Stuart Comstock-Gay said. “Each year, we receive dozens of applications, indicating a real need for help with capital projects that nonprofits’ funding doesn’t usually cover.”
Applications must be submitted online at delcf.org/grants. Applications must be received no later than 4 p.m., Feb. 22, 2019.
Over the years, the DCF has awarded nearly $5 million in capital and equipment grants, funded through the State of Delaware Fund and other field-of-interest endowments. Last year, the DCF allocated more than $250,000 in capital grants. All applicants will be notified by April 30, 2019.
The DCF will host two optional workshops to help applicants become familiar with the program and online application:
Friday, Feb. 1, 9:30-11 a.m., Wilmington Public Library, Commons Room
Tuesday, Feb. 5, 3:30-5 p.m., Georgetown Public Library, Meeting Room A
Participants must register by Jan. 31 at delcf.org/capital-grants-workshops-2019. Participation in workshops is optional and will not influence funding decisions.
