The Fundraising for Sustainable Organizations (FUNDS) program helps established organizations diversify and expand their funding base. Organizations that analyze potential income growth and develop a multi-year “comprehensive fundraising plan” are more likely to be financially sustainable over time. 

FUNDS provides:

• Technical assistance grants of up to $6,000 for groups on the “planning track” to develop or improve their comprehensive fundraising plan

• Grants of up to $10,000 for further consultation or implementation of key elements of those plans (“implementation track”), and

• Low-interest loans of up to $50,000 to capitalize the fundraising program. For example, loans may be available to hire staff, upgrade a donor database system, start an earned income venture, or launch a membership recruitment and renewal drive.
