Equipping nonprofits and nonprofit leaders with the tools, knowledge, and support to accelerate their impact. The Grunin Capacity Brand Icon represents this network of non-profit leaders as they navigate sea change with six key C’s: Curiosity, Conversation, Collaboration, Community, Compassion, Capacity.

Why do we focus on Capacity Building?

We believe when our local nonprofits thrive, our community will thrive. We also understand that not all nonprofits have the same access to social and human capital.

This is why we created Grunin Capacity - to help nonprofits and nonprofit leaders accelerate their impact. Through this initiative, the Grunin Foundation offers an array of resources, events and opportunities geared at supporting changemakers, fostering collaboration and amplifying diverse leadership for greater impact.
