2027 Capacity Building Grants are now open!
ACT is pleased to announce our 2027 capacity building grants will focus on organizations whose work advances the economic well-being of Alexandrians by increasing access to stability, opportunity, and economic mobility. This includes organizations focused on:
- Advocacy and systems change that influence policies, practices, and systems affecting economic opportunity and stability.
- Childcare and early care and education that expand access to affordable, high-quality care and support parents’ ability to work and build economic stability.
- Food security that helps individuals and families consistently meet basic needs and reduce financial hardship.
- Healthcare that increases access to affordable, high-quality care and reduces health-related barriers to economic stability and opportunity.
- Housing stability that helps people access and maintain safe, affordable housing, and avoid housing crises and displacement.
- Workforce development that connects Alexandrians to education, skills, employment, career pathways, and wages that support long-term economic mobility.
For ACT, economic well-being means more than meeting basic needs, it means having stability to weather challenges, opportunities to build a future, a sense of dignity and belonging, and the power to shape the future individuals and families want for themselves in the community they call home. By investing in the resilience and well-being of the organizations and people doing this work, ACT seeks to strengthen their ability to adapt, sustain their work, and create lasting impact for Alexandrians.
Our goal is to invest $50,000 and invite requests up to $10,000.
The application is available starting October 5 and due on November 2.
