I know that the IMPACT 2011 grant will fund general operating costs, does this include Capital Campaigns?
Dear Alexis –
Please see the FAQs above. Capital Campaigns are not included in IMPACT funding.
Are the funds from the National Fund for Workforce Solutions (see link below) being disbursed through Impact 2011 or another grant program?

Dear Eliel –
The IMPACT Program is a separate fund from the National Fund for Workforce Solutions. We are in the process of developing guidelines for the Workforce fund.
