Last updated June 15, 2026

There are currently 550 active grants for capital funding in Grantable's free grants database, drawn from state and foundation sources and updated daily.

Capital grants (also called capital funding or bricks-and-mortar grants) pay for one-time physical and infrastructure investments rather than ongoing operations — things like buying or renovating a building, major equipment, vehicles, or technology systems. Because they fund durable assets, capital grants are often larger, restricted to a specific project, and tied to a defined timeline and budget. Funders frequently expect a capital campaign, matching funds, or other committed sources before they invest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a capital grant?

A capital grant funds the acquisition, construction, renovation, or improvement of long-lived assets: facilities, land, major equipment, vehicles, or significant technology infrastructure. Unlike operating or program grants, capital funds are restricted to the specified project and usually cannot be redirected to salaries or general expenses. They are typically released against a project budget and milestones.

Who funds capital projects for nonprofits?

Capital funding comes from private and family foundations, community foundations, government agencies, and corporate giving programs, often through dedicated capital or facilities initiatives rather than general grant cycles. Many funders prefer to be one part of a larger capital campaign and will look for committed matching dollars from boards, major donors, or other funders before contributing.

How is a capital grant different from a project or operating grant?

A capital grant pays for a tangible, lasting asset (a building, renovation, or major piece of equipment), while a project grant funds the activities of a specific program and an operating grant covers general day-to-day costs like rent, salaries, and utilities. Capital grants tend to be larger and one-time, are tightly restricted to the approved project, and often require evidence that the organization can sustain the asset once it is built or purchased.
