FCP Introduces Rapid Response Funding as it Opens Fall Grant Cycle to Nonprofits
Doylestown, PA (September 2, 2025) – Foundations Community Partnership (FCP) is now accepting applications for its Bucks Innovation & Improvement (BIIG) and Capital Improvement (CAP) fall grant cycles. Eligible nonprofits can submit a Letter of Inquiry by October 1, 2025, through FCP’s web site.
“Nonprofits are an essential component in delivering essential services to the most vulnerable people in our communities,” said Tracy Pasternak Willis, Chair of FCP’s Board of Directors. “Supporting innovative ideas and impactful programs has been at the core of our grantmaking since 2007.”
Annually, BIIG and CAP grant cycles offer $350,000 in support for innovative programs and services as well as structural facility improvements and technology upgrades that will have a positive impact on Bucks County’s children, young adults, and families. For more information about these grant opportunities, visit fcpartnership.org/grants. Last spring, FCP’s Board of Directors awarded 15 BIIG and eight CAP grants. Collectively, these 23 non-profit recipients served 49,089 Bucks County residents by expanding services and infrastructure.
Further, in the spirit of past “Target Funding” initiatives and informed by regular and ongoing interaction with nonprofits serving Bucks County, FCP’s Board of Directors recently approved a rapid response grant approach aimed to mitigate funding cuts and/or significant reimbursement delays at the federal and state levels. “We increased our grant budget by 30 percent this fiscal year in response to the unprecedented and proposed cuts to behavioral health and human services,” Pasternak Willis added. For more information about this grant cycle, including eligibility criteria, visit fcpartnership.org/grants/tf-grants.
