Better Funding Practices | The Power of Flexible Capacity Building Grants

In many contexts, organizations are forced to prioritize immediate needs over long-term resilience, but what if they didn’t have to choose between delivering impact and building their own internal strength?

This tool offers one way to change that: small, flexible capacity building grants that partners can use however they need — no complications, no assumptions.

📘 This resource breaks down:
🔹 Why flexibility is essential for organizational development.
🔹 What kinds of support partners actually invest in when given the chance, and how does this impact their organizations.
🔹 How funders can offer this kind of grant efficiently and equitably, even on a small scale.
🔹 Real examples from Gophilanthropic Foundation’s global partners who used US$1,000 grants to do everything from launching new systems to funding staff retreats and developing cookbooks!
