Other Funding Opportunities
Capital Projects
Once each year the Kosasa Foundation considers requests for capital campaigns. For KF, these requests are characterized in the following way:
- Projects are intensive and time limited
- Goal is a transformational project such as long-term investment in organization’s physical assets, infrastructure, or financial capacity
(we do not fund campaigns for endowments) - Differs from raising annual operating revenue for regular programs and staffing costs
- Transformational projects typically include:
- Buildings and Facilities
- Equipment or Technology
- Major Program Expansion
While KF has limited funds for capital requests, successful projects tend to be those that:
- Have a project design that reflects thoughtful research, community input, and guidance from architectural and construction professionals. Permitting is underway with no known problems
- The campaign is well underway toward its goal, draws from diverse funding sources, and has staff capacity to secure the remaining funds.
- The project makes sense for the organization now. The organization is financially stable and can sustain new operating costs after completion.
