Capacity Building
Wilburforce Foundation will advance its mission only if our grantees have the leaders and systems they need to thrive. That’s why for more than twenty years we’ve made a significant commitment in grantee capacity building. We know that when we support our grantees beyond the grant check, we all benefit.
As of 2025, our Capacity Building program focuses exclusively on supporting TREC – Together Rising as an Environmental Community.
If you are a current grantee and have a specific capacity need for your organization, please connect with your appropriate regional program officer.
Our Foundation is consistently rated as having a significant positive impact on our grantees’ organizations in a biannual Grantee Perception Report commissioned through the Center for Effective Philanthropy. The report reveals that the proportion of our grantees that receive the most intensive, helpful kinds of assistance rate is among the highest when compared to other funders who participate in this survey.
