National Service Agency Announces Funding to Help Nonprofits Improve
Performance
Washington, DC – The Corporation for National and Community Service
announced its Nonprofit Capacity Building Notice of Funding
Availability (NOFA) today, a new program designed to increase the
capacity of small nonprofits to expand their impact in communities
facing resource hardships.
“Nonprofits across the country are strapped,” said Patrick
Corvington, the Corporation’s CEO. “Too many are grappling to meet
increased local demands with drastic declines in resources. These
funds will provide nonprofits in some of our most challenged
neighborhoods the tools to better deliver sustained results.”
The Nonprofit Capacity Building Program, authorized under the Edward
M. Kennedy Serve America Act, will provide $1 million to increase the
capacity of a small number of intermediary grantees to work with small
and midsize nonprofits to develop and implement performance management
systems. The intermediaries will provide nonprofits with
organizational development assistance to establish procedures for
measuring progress and leveraging staff and volunteers toward outcomes
that transform communities. This will enable nonprofits to better
communicate the value of their services and generate additional
funding opportunities.
The Corporation convened a national meeting in November and held
several follow-up teleconference calls with dozens of nonprofits,
intermediary organizations and foundations in the nonprofit capacity
building sector on the design of the NOFA. The agency also engaged
nonprofit leaders on ways the sector, with its limited resources, can
benefit from the Corporation’s expanded role in strategically
supporting nonprofit capacity building.
On April 19, the Corporation will hold a technical assistance call to
answer questions for potential applicants about the NOFA at 4 p.m.
Eastern Time. Call-in information is toll-free #800-857-3059 and the
passcode is NCB.
The letter of Intent to Apply for the NOFA is due on April 27, and the
deadline for applications is May 18 by 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
Certification of matching funds to determine eligibility is due at the
time of application. Successful applicants will be notified by the end
of September 2010. Click here to read the entire NOFA.
