Nonprofit Capacity
Building Grant.
A direct-funding program for emerging South Florida nonprofits that serve low-to-moderate income communities.

Financial
Stewardship &
Compliance Grant.
Many emerging nonprofits get tripped up on the same hurdle. This program closes it.
The audit, accounting, and financial-controls bar that funders, government contracts, and state regulators expect — that's the gap. Recipients work with vetted CPAs and compliance professionals to build financial systems that hold up under scrutiny.
