Archstone Foundation is committed to integrating health and social services through coordinated investments in promoting teams, enhancing training, and improving technology. Their vision revolves around creating coordinated care, particularly focused on supporting older adults and their caregivers in California.
The Capacity Building grants program by Archstone Foundation aims to bolster nonprofits dedicated to serving older adults, enabling them to reach new heights of organizational strength and effectiveness. Offering up to $50,000, these grants are designed to enhance an organization's structural and operational capabilities, but explicitly not for covering regular operational expenses or ongoing programmatic needs. The grants support various strategic initiatives, including planning activities, board and leadership development, fostering strategic relationships, enhancing internal operations, improving technology infrastructure, developing new sources of earned income, building evaluation capacity, and the adaptation or implementation of evidence-based programs. While not for new program development, these grants encourage implementing or adapting proven models to serve older adults, with a particular emphasis on projects that focus on serving diverse communities and advancing racial and health equity in California.
