Capital Project
Capital Project Grants support the purchase, construction, or renovation of a building or the purchase of equipment. To be eligible for consideration, a capital project must meet the following criteria:

• The agency has raised at least fifty percent (50%) of the total capital project cost (signed pledges from reliable sources, other funding commitments, or cash in the bank which will not be used for other purposes).
• The agency has received value-engineered drawings or a signed contract with the builder, if applicable.

The Weinberg Foundation does not fund more than thirty percent (30%) of the total cost. The Foundation perfers to provide suppoort in the later stages of a capital campaign, after construction costs are fixed and a substantial portion of the funding has been raised. The Foundation does not award supplemental grant funding to cover unexpected construction costs.
