The government is once again offering nonprofits organizations the opportunity to compete for capital grants.
“These grants are important because nonprofits often find that the grants they can qualify for cannot be used for capital expenses, which often means capital needs do not get addressed,” Mayor Linda Gorton said. “Nonprofits provide important services in our community. Grants to meet capital needs can help them improve and expand their services.” This is the third time the government has offered the grants.
These capital grants have made it possible for agencies to have bigger spaces, functioning vans, new kitchen equipment, and updated technology. “By strengthening the foundations and infrastructures of our community partners, we’re building stronger pathways of service, support, and opportunity for every Lexington-Fayette County resident,” said Social Services Commissioner Kacy Allen-Bryant.
This year the program is locally funded at $602,000. Agencies that received funding in the funding cycle that ended in 2025 are not eligible to apply for this new cycle.
