Capital Project Capacity Grants for Nonprofit Organizations (Winter–Spring 2026)
The Cultural Center needs an elevator! It's definitely a project that's on our radar, but it's just an idea until we have a plan. Getting that means hiring an architect & an engineer, gathering community input, and creating a whole stack of documents.
As luck would have it, the CCD has been awarded a $50,000 grant to do just that. These funds will allow us to complete all of those pre-construction tasks to get us ready to launch a targeted capital fundraising campaign.
The timeframe is super short though! Our completion deadline for this work is be June 2026!
