Planning and Capital Projects

Planning Grants provided funds for costs incurred before buying, renovating, or building a property such as feasibility studies, appraisals, and environmental testing.

Capital Grants covered project-related costs for nonprofits buying or leasing space long-term, or renovating or building new space.

NCCLF awarded 10 capital grants totaling over $2.8 million, and eight planning grants totaling $315,000 through its NSCF Performing Arts Program. These funds helpled to create over 260,000 square feet of permanent space for nonprofit performing arts organizations. The grants leveraged over $126 million in additional public and private financing.
