BCF is one of the few community foundations in Washington State that awards capacity building grants for local nonprofits. We recognize that one goal most organizations share is to perform their work more efficiently and effectively. Capacity building is distinguishable from direct program services, general operating support or capital expenses in that they typically seek to increase the knowledge and skill level of nonprofit boards and/or staff. Past applications have supported board and staff training, strategic planning, program analysis, board governance, and DEI and social justice education.
