Great programs need great organizations behind them, and St. David’s Foundation is committed to investing in the organizational health of our grant partners. We recognize the profound shifts and transitions the health sector in Central Texas is experiencing. Therefore, we support leaders and organizations who embrace this change and actively work to guide organizations through it.
Our Approach
Through grants, workshops and various multi-year initiatives, we support grant partners in learning from each other and from outside experts.
Grants
Existing grant partners may apply for funding to support capacity building projects such as:
- Communications/marketing
- Evaluation and learning
- Financial management
- Staff or board leadership development
- Strategic or succession planning
Workshops
Periodic workshops, outside speakers and panelists provide grant partners with cutting edge information and research related to best practices in nonprofit management and governance.
Capacity Academy
Capacity Academy is a cohort-based, multi-year initiative that combines participation in a learning community, access to technical assistance or executive coaching, and grant funding. Participation in Capacity Academy is through a competitive application process and by invitation only.
How to Apply
To express interest in a capacity building grant, you are encouraged to reach out to the Senior Capacity Building Officer to discuss your project. Foundation staff will assist you in the next steps, which may include a capacity building organizational assessment tool.
Capacity building application due dates are: March 15th, June 15th and November 15th annually.
