Capital Funding 2.0: The New Approach to Nonprofit Capital Projects

By Cherie Kirschbaum

At some point in every nonprofit’s lifecycle, the organization reaches a point where its current facility no longer meets its needs. The organization may consider leasing new space, purchasing a new property, expanding or renovating, or building a new space. In the past, nonprofits thought the only way to finance the project was through a capital campaign. And, nonprofits in this situation typically embarked on a campaign feasibility study to see how much could be raised. 

The feasibility study conclusions typically became the sole instrument to guide leadership throughout planning for the capital project, placing the focus on what could be done for this amount of money.  This approach keeps nonprofits from assessing and addressing comprehensive facility requirements – both immediate and long-term. 

Today, progressive nonprofits approach capital projects by first determining what they need, then by developing a financial plan to fund the project. A financial plan allows nonprofits to develop a diversified approach for funding capital projects, and includes a variety of sources accepted by financial institutions, foundations and donors.

 There are five funding categories available to nonprofits for capital projects:
1. Public funding (local, state and federal)
2. Foundation funding (grants)
3. Bank financing (bonds or commercial loans)
4. Cash reserves
5. Capital campaign

While, each source has advantages and disadvantages, they are not mutually exclusive. Nonprofit capital projects can be funded using a combination of these methods. In many cases, a combined approach allows a nonprofit to leverage the investment among all stakeholder groups. A well developed project and financing plan will not only inspire confidence from potential funding sources, but also encourage participation in the project as an investment. 

Below are a few comments about each of these five funding categories:

Public Funding: While the process to apply for and receive public funding can be daunting, the amount of money that could be granted to the project is well worth the effort. These funding sources include Community Development Block Grants, HOME Funds and others. It is important for a nonprofit to understand the requirements that come with some of these funding sources, such as Davis Bacon Wage requirements or HUD Section 3 compliance. These requirements can have an impact on the cost and schedule of the project. 

Foundation Funding: Most nonprofits are aware of the private and community foundations in their area that provide capital grants. Foundations recognize their role in financing a well-conceived project for a nonprofit with a strong financial track record, qualified leadership and a committed Board of Directors.

Bank Financing: Bank financing can become a bridge between getting a project done now and completing a capital campaign. Some nonprofits may be able to continue to pay the debt service on a bank loan even after the capital campaign is complete. This category of financing is becoming more mainstream, and is frequently accepted by both nonprofit funders and the nonprofits themselves. 
 
Cash Reserves: A nonprofit’s cash on hand or endowment can provide the equity sometimes required by other funding sources, and can be replenished through a capital campaign.

Capital Campaign: Nonprofits that embark on a capital campaign, even in difficult economic times, can be very successful. A well conceived project and financial plan can help to leverage stakeholder support, while also deepening donor commitments. Campaigns can attract new donors, and elevate visibility within the community and beyond. 

Savvy nonprofits consider the full spectrum of funding sources available for capital projects. By doing so, these organizations are often able to open the doors to a new space without sacrificing elements necessary to best meet program needs. They are also able to engage, rather than exhaust, donors, foundations, and community partners in their long-term success.

Dear

My second child (baby boy) will be born in the near future , pray for me.

Thank you for your explanation, it is very plausible explanation you, me over at My company as CEO, it is not easy to get the funds, the funds amounting to several hundred dollars, should make a full proposal, making the program charity or charities and raising donor, I've more than five years of searching and never despair sent a letter to the CEOs included in Forbes Magazine, including a presentation in it, also to institutions of charity, philanthropy, and to international financial institutions including the Bank - the Bank big in the USA, China, UK, Germany and the UAE, but the results are still disappointing.
If you can help, having acquaintance of businessman super-rich who want to invest, to create programs that need the cost of an enormous US $ 1 billion, this could work is to build hospitals in 33 Locations Indonesia with sufficient facilities and with cross-subsidy scheme, for which afford will pay more while not afford will enjoy a reduction in costs, the program is very ambitious, unreasonable and will have scorn of many people, but I have a DREAM BIG, to not rely on the government to build infrastructure but investment by Private , if possible for you.
My team many who resign for not being able to get this pressure, but I continue to build a new team that constantly want to try to realize this, if it succeeded all logos, symbols and messages, from the Company or Institution you will be entered in every architecture and good Interior and Exterior building this hospital, because I also have a background of a Bachelor of Civil Engineering at the University of Indonesia graduate of 2004.
Thus my explanation, thank you for his time.
Thank you very much

Is a non-profit required to complete the bidding process if they only have foundation or private funding? We would like to select a contractor for our build but want to avoid the bidding process if at all possible.
