Overview
Building capacity is a proven strategy for grantee success. This initiative provides programmatic funding to organizations that serve as subject matter experts for each of The Colorado Trust’s three focus areas (food, housing, and mental and behavioral health) as well as for organizational infrastructure. Through the Capacity Building Assistance initiative, The Colorado Trust is funding three grantees to provide short- or long-term support to grantees to assess their capacity-building needs, provide tailored and general learning and growth opportunities, and create tools and resources necessary to advance their fields.
