Looking for a grant opportunity that can help you expand your impact without scrambling for program-by-program funding? The Fidelity Foundation Grant could be your open door.

Unlike many grants that only fund day-to-day program costs, the Fidelity Foundation focuses on big, strategic projects that can transform your nonprofit’s reach and sustainability for years to come. This makes it an excellent fit for churches, schools, and nonprofits that are ready to scale up.

What Could This Grant Opportunity Fund?

Here are examples of what this grant opportunity could help you accomplish:

✅ Capital Improvements: Building a new youth center, renovating your church’s food pantry, or expanding a nonprofit community hub to serve more families.

✅ Technology Projects: Upgrading your donor management systems, implementing online tutoring platforms, or launching a streamlined volunteer management system.

✅ Strategic Planning: Bringing in consultants to develop a multi-year outreach expansion plan, sustainability roadmap, or technology integration plan.

Fidelity Foundation grants have supported projects from $100,000 to over $10 million—so if your organization has a vision that’s too big for piecemeal funding, this could be the strategic boost you need.

Why Churches and Nonprofits Should Pay Attention

Churches and faith-based nonprofits often carry bold visions for their communities—food security initiatives, youth development programs, counseling centers, and educational projects. However, many struggle to secure capacity-building funds that go beyond “keeping the lights on.”

The Fidelity Foundation is specifically looking for projects that expand impact, not just sustain it. If your church or nonprofit has:

✅ A 501(c)(3) with an operating budget of $1M+

✅ A project budget of $100,000 or more

✅ A clear, strategic vision for how the project will increase your effectiveness

…it’s worth considering this grant opportunity as you plan your next steps.

How to Apply

You will need to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) first, outlining your project and its alignment with Fidelity’s priorities. If your project is a fit, you will be invited to submit a full proposal.

Because the process can take 4–6 months, now is the time to align your vision and get your materials ready.
