Nonprofit grants are the lifeblood of the social sector.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common types of nonprofit grants?
The main types include program/project grants (funding a specific initiative), general operating support (unrestricted funds for overhead and operations), capital grants (buildings, equipment), and capacity building grants (staff training, technology, strategic planning). Federal grants often fund specific programs, while foundations may offer more flexible support.
How much funding can a nonprofit get from grants?
Grant amounts vary enormously — from $500 micro-grants to multi-million dollar federal awards. Most foundation grants range from $5,000 to $100,000. Federal grants for large programs can exceed $1 million. Your budget size, track record, and the scope of your proposal all affect what you can realistically win.
Do new nonprofits qualify for grants?
Yes, though options may be more limited. Many funders require 501(c)(3) status and at least 1-2 years of operations. New nonprofits should look for startup-friendly funders, capacity building grants, and fiscal sponsorship arrangements that let you apply through an established organization.
