Funders want impact. Capacity building delivers it.

Too often, nonprofits shy away from asking for capacity building support—training, data systems, staff development—because it feels like “overhead.”

But the truth is: capacity is mission fuel. It’s what helps your programs scale, adapt, and thrive.

This toolkit gives you the language and tools to reframe the conversation and secure funding that strengthens your entire organization, not just one project.

What's Inside the Toolkit:

Everything you need to make the ask, including:

  • Talking Points for Funders → Reframe capacity as impact, not overhead

  • Email + Proposal Templates → Copy-and-paste language to use right away

  • Funder FAQ Guide → Objections and ready-to-go responses

  • Quick Checklist → Make sure your request is funder-ready
