The National Council of La Raza (NCLR)-Comcast Capacity-Building Grant Program will provide support to eight Affiliates to enhance their capacity to: (a) operate a program in a specific issue area, (b) conduct advocacy work or, (c) improve institutional infrastructure. Each grantee will receive a grant totaling $75,000 over a three-year period and be expected to demonstrate evidence of implementation, evaluation, and sustainability.

The Capacity-Building Grant Program is structured to align with three of NCLR’s Affiliate Partner categories: Program Partners, Advocacy Partners, and Next Generation Partners. The program is designed to build and develop an Affiliate’s capacity to collaborate with NCLR on specific program or advocacy work, or to build its infrastructure institutionally to conduct work aligned with NCLR’s mission that seeks to improve life opportunities for Hispanics.

We are excited to share the news that the following eight Affiliates were selected to receive an NCLR/Comcast Capacity-Building Grant:
