Grant Areas

The overall goal of the Partnership for Prince George's County is to foster systems change in the capacity, positioning and vitality of the nonprofit sector. This lens — systems change — permeates every aspect of our work. So with that as our framework, we will award grants to organizations providing lifeline services* for the purpose of strengthening their capacity and impact — both individually and collectively — located in and serving the county's inner-Beltway communities of Prince George's County [see our zip-code map for qualifying locations].

Eligible applicants must be either located in or serving inner-Beltway communities in Prince George's County, Maryland. Organizations physically located outside of the geographic target area must be currently serving inner-Beltway communities to be eligible.

Proposals will be considered for the following types of capacity building:
