Capacity
GTOPs Capacity is a micro-grant intended to fund non-profit’s technology infrastructure as well as staff training and development related to digital equity. Because this opportunity is not client serving, normal insurance requirements are waived. GTOPs Capacity will award individual grants twice a year for amounts between $150 and $2,500.
Interested organizations should review the GTOPs Application Guide before submitting an application.
