Grant Opportunity: Capacity Building Project

"Upgrade for Uplift" (UFU), a project of the Howard University Center for Urban Progress and Washington Regional Association of Grantmakers, seeks applicants to the 2010 program. The project was developed to support the viability of faith- and community-based organizations serving economically vulnerable residents in neighborhoods of greatest need in Wards 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

It is anticipated that up to 25 faith- and community-based organizations will be selected to be recipients of UFU training and technical assistance, and up to 10 of those 25 organizations who participate in training and technical assistance will be awarded capacity-building grants of $10,000 to $30,000.

An orientation for interested organizations will be held March 8. Applications are due by 6:00 pm on Monday, March 15. Click here to learn more.
