Capacity building -whatever is needed to bring a nonprofit to the next level of operational, programmatic, financial, or organizational maturity, so it may more effectively and efficiently advance its mission into the future. Capacity building is not a one-time effort to improve short-term effectiveness, but a continuous improvement strategy toward the creation of a sustainable and effective organization.grants are designed to strengthen the organizational infrastructure, management, and governance of eligible nonprofits. These grants are not about expanding an organization's services, adding a new program, or renovating a building. The idea of capacity building is that improved internal systems will support improved and continued high-quality services to clients.
