Capacity Building Grants
Grants to strengthen California nonprofits serving older adults at a structural level — building organizational ability to deliver on mission over time, rather than covering routine operating or ongoing programme costs.
- Indicative award
- up to $50k (total award)Up to $50,000 per grant. No minimum published. The foundation notes it typically receives five to ten times more applications than it can fund.
- Timing
- Periodic callsNo specific published date recorded. This funder publishes a cycle rather than a date, and this database does not invent one.Access begins with a screening questionnaire that opens periodically; the questionnaire window was closed at the time of checking and no future dates are posted. Archstone also offers pro bono capacity support through a Catchafire partnership between grant rounds.
- Who can apply

- California 501(c)(3) nonprofits (not private foundations) and California state and local government entities working to improve access to health and social care for older adults.
