CHECK THIS OUT!

The Kresge Foundation! Their “Bricks and Mortar” program could be just what you are looking for.

The Kresge Foundation is known for making grants for capital projects, and governmental agencies are eligible to apply! However, they believe a challenge grant toward an organization's capital project does more than just build a building or reward good programs. It presents an opportunity to build institutional capacity by helping an organization broaden and deepen its base of support from the private sector and by encouraging volunteer involvement in the fund raising effort and beyond.

What projects are Eligible?

  1. Construction of facilities
  2. Renovation of facilities
  3. Purchase of major equipment or an integrated system at a cost of at least $300,000. Equipment costs may include computer software expenses, if applicable.
  4. Purchase of real estate.
