Building Capacity for Nonprofits
At Capacita, we know what it takes to strengthen and sustain nonprofit organizations—because we’ve been there ourselves. As former funders and nonprofit leaders, we bring deep expertise in both how organizations operate and what funders look for. We help mission-driven teams move from vision to action, ensuring their work is strategic, achievable, and well-supported.
What makes us different from other consulting companies in the mission-oriented space is our people-focused project management approach, and our silo-busting expertise on both the nonprofit and funder sides of the table.
Whether you’re refining your strategy, figuring out how to execute it, or tackling a big transition, we’re here to help.
Let’s work together to build the strong, resilient nonprofit you envision.
Grants Research and Coordination:
Identifying funding needs
Conducting research to identify good-fit funders
Creating a customized grant coordination dashboard (that you will own!)
Providing ongoing grant coordination including identifying funding needs, grant-writing, and project managing the grant application process
Setting Strategy That Works
A strong strategy isn’t just a plan—it’s a roadmap that reflects your mission, values, and the realities of your organization. We help nonprofits clarify their goals, define priorities, and create strategies that are ambitious yet practical.
Making Strategy Happen
Strategy only matters if you can execute it. We help organizations move from planning to action by:
Prioritizing what matters most
Allocating resources effectively
Developing workplans that fit your team’s capacity and culture
We believe in making strategy implementation both manageable and sustainable, so you can focus on impact without burning out.
Walking Alongside You When Challenges Arise
Nonprofits evolve, and so do their challenges. We partner with organizations as they navigate complex moments, including:
Leveling up to meet new opportunities
Realigning efforts to stay mission-focused
Refining impact to measure and communicate success
Strengthening fundraising, with a special focus on building a strong, sustainable grants pipeline
Identifying risks and vulnerabilities — and addressing them, drawing on our legal, operational, and administrative experience.
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions—we tailor our approach to your organization’s unique needs, ensuring that our support helps you move forward with confidence.
Corporate Partnerships and Sponsorships:
Identifying partnership opportunities including asset valuation
Collateral development including outreach, pitch decks, and sponsorship packages
Partnership advisory services
Strategic Fundraising Design:
Using research and best practices to examine your funding portfolio and determine a sustainable and effective calibrated level of support from different categories of donors and funders
