Capacity Building Grant Program
DuPage Foundation’s Capacity Building grant program supports local nonprofit organizations in strengthening their ability to carry out their missions, now and for the future.

Donor Engagement & Fund Development – Projects that strengthen donor relationships, increase giving, and support effective fundraising strategies.
Technology Upgrades & Implementation – Projects that improve efficiency, boost productivity, or enhance data security.
