Grants for general operating expenses help cover administrative costs such as rent, utilities, insurance, technology infrastructure, and accounting services. By alleviating these overhead expenses, nonprofits can focus more resources on direct services and programs.
4. Organizational Sustainability: General operating grants play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term sustainability of nonprofit organizations. By providing funding to cover essential operational expenses, these grants contribute to financial stability, allowing nonprofits to weather economic fluctuations, plan for the future, and continue their mission-driven work without undue financial strain.
