Capacity Building Grants Workshop

Monday, March 17, 2008

In 2008, New Roots will give Capacity Building Grants to organizations or groups of organizations working in one of these Rhode Island cities: Providence, Cranston, Warwick, West Warwick, Pawtucket, and Central Falls. Grants will be used for activities that strengthen organizations and increase their ability to serve people in need. Faith-based and community-based organizations working in these cities are encouraged to apply.

To be eligible for a grant, organizations should support (or plan to support) one or more of the following groups:

  • children of men and women who are in prison;
  • people returning to the community from prison;
  • youth in danger of getting involved with violence or gang activity;
  • people moving from public assistance into employment (”welfare to work”);
  • elders in need;
  • people who are homeless;
  • and people who need intensive substance abuse rehabilitation services.

New Roots staff will hold three workshops to help organizations prepare to apply for a grant. To reserve a place, CLICK HERE to download the registration form.
