About large grants for nonprofits
Large grants are major awards — frequently five, six, or seven figures — that fund significant programs, expansion, multi-year initiatives, or capital projects. They typically come with rigorous applications, due diligence, and reporting, and are generally awarded to established organizations with the capacity to manage substantial funding. Many large grants are invitation-based or built on an existing funder relationship rather than open calls.
A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow large grants for nonprofit organizations down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

What is considered a large grant?
A large grant is a substantial award that funds major work — scaling a proven program, a multi-year initiative, organizational expansion, or a capital project — rather than a small, one-time need. These grants involve more scrutiny: detailed proposals, budgets, financial review, and often site visits, plus ongoing reporting on outcomes and spending.
Who awards large grants to nonprofits?
Large grants come from major private and national foundations, government agencies, large corporate foundations, and some community foundations' signature initiatives. Many of the biggest awards are invitation-only or grow out of a long-standing relationship, and funders typically expect a strong financial position, experienced leadership, and a proven ability to deliver results at scale.
How do organizations qualify for large grants?
Funders generally look for organizational capacity — sound finances, audited statements, experienced staff and governance, and a track record of measurable impact — before committing large sums. Building toward large grants usually means demonstrating results on smaller awards first, cultivating relationships with program officers, and showing that your organization can absorb and manage significant funding responsibly.
