About us
Capacitybuilders is a non-departmental public body (NDPB)
set up in 2006 to take over the management of the ChangeUp programme and to work with other funders to build the capacity of the Third Sector. We exist to create a more effective third sector and we do this by improving support for third sector organisations.
Support providers
We fund support providers who help third sector organisations become stronger by providing advice, facilities and other kinds of support.
Government and funders
We believe that the third sector plays a vital role in our society and are asking both central and local government to increase their investment in support services.
Grant recipients and applicants
We will use our grant programmes strategically to develop new support mechanisms, stimulate improvements in support services and help to lever other funds.
