This program was developed to provide flexible funding to sustain existing place-based collaborative efforts as well as incentive to take necessary risks to innovate and move the field of collaboration forward. The CSP provides two types of small grants: 1) Capacity Grants where up to $5,000 is available for organizational development needs in collaborative efforts. Capacity grant funds can be used for a wide range of tools including but not limited to: training, consultants, community outreach, group facilitation, program development, nonprofit management skill-building, and communications. 2) Innovation Grants where up to $10,000 is available for expenses related to the implementation of new ideas or strategies that will move the field of collaboration forward and that have the potential to be transferred to other collaborative efforts across the country.
