Capital Investment Grant for Nonprofits that Service at Least 50% Disadvantaged Children and Youth, and Low-income Families with Children

There are a few capital investment grant opportunities specifically targeting nonprofits that service disadvantaged children, youth, and low-income families. These grants often focus on projects that enhance facilities, expand capacity, or improve the infrastructure needed to deliver essential services.

Some potential grant opportunities to consider:

1. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program: Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), this program funds community development projects that benefit low- and moderate-income individuals, including capital improvements for facilities serving disadvantaged children and youth.
2. The Kresge Foundation’s Facilities Investment and Building Reserves Program: Offers funding for nonprofit organizations to enhance their infrastructure, particularly those serving low-income communities. This can include building renovations, facility expansion, and other capital projects.
3. The Children’s Investment Fund: This fund supports nonprofits that work with disadvantaged children and youth by providing capital funding for facility improvements, renovations, and construction projects.
4. The Rasmuson Foundation’s Tier 2 Program: Provides large grants for capital projects benefiting low-income families and children, including facility construction, expansion, and renovation.
5. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: Although known primarily for health-related grants, this foundation occasionally offers capital funding for projects that improve health outcomes for disadvantaged populations, including children and families.

These grants typically require a clear demonstration of how the capital investment will directly benefit the target population. Consider checking the specific eligibility criteria and application deadlines for each program to ensure alignment with your organization’s needs.
