Description of Subaward Funding Opportunity

These subawards are to be used to build the capacity of your organization. Capacity building is defined as "the process of implementing activities critical to the long-term viability of organizations to increase the effectiveness of programmatic activities and organizational operations." Capacity building activites should increase an organization's sustainability and effectiveness, enhance its ability to provide social services, and/or create collaborations to better serve those most in need.  Five critical areas of capacity building are:

  1. Leadership Development
  2. Organizational Development
  3. Program Development
  4. Revenue Development Strategies
  5. Community Engagement
