This may mean providing assistance to an organisation to get them to the next stage or to position their organisation for future success. Examples of capacity building grants:
Funding to establish a Theory of Change which clearly identifies the problem you are trying to help address, how your organisation plans to help address that problem, and what outcomes it hopes to achieve.
Funding to collate evidence to support your Theory of Change – this can include both quantitative and qualitative evidence that your organisation has collected through its current programs and/or evidence collected by other organisations from similar programs and initiatives.
Funding to establish a proposed framework to measure the outcomes and impact of your program or initiative.
Fund a specialist to develop an organisation’s long-term strategy, business plan and governance program to provide a clear path forward into the future.
Funding to procure additional equipment to facilitate growth and expansion within the organisation.
You may seek funding to run an evidenced-based start-up or pilot program.
