Your grantees face a common challenge: innovative programs hampered by weak organizational infrastructure. Staff burnout. Board dysfunction. Systems that can't scale. You want to help, but where do you start?

The $2.5 Billion Question

Foundations invest billions in program funding each year, yet 80% of nonprofits say organizational capacity is their biggest barrier to impact. When we fund programs without supporting the organizations behind them, we're setting up our grantees—and our investments—to underperform.

What Leading Foundations Know

The most effective grantmakers have discovered that supporting organizational capacity doesn't dilute program funding—it multiplies it. They've moved from asking "What programs should we fund?" to "How can we ensure these programs have the organizational foundation to succeed?"

But building this capability requires knowing where you stand today and having a clear roadmap forward.
