About This Guide
The Nonprofit Capital Projects Guide is a resource for nonprofit organizations at every stage of their capital project process. Whether you are just starting to explore the possibility of a capital project or you are in the midst of campaign fundraising, this Guide will provide you with information, tools and best practices to help you navigate each stage of the process.
We recognize that organizational capacity and access to capital varies widely across geographies and types of organizations, and we have taken great care to ensure the Guide is helpful for nonprofits of all shapes, sizes and communities.
