BCPT grants empower NGOs leading ground-level change to transform communities 

GRANTMAKING

STRENGTHENING OUR NON-PROFIT ECOSYSTEM

With a strong history of impactful grantmaking and over 700 local nonprofit partners, BCPT prioritizes community needs in its grant selection process. We support NGOs driving transformative, ground-level change and create lasting impact.

OUR GRANTS

We support a broad range of causes through BCPT grants and donor-advised funds. BCPT grants focus on children, youth, disability, and the elderly, while donor-advised funds support areas such as education, healthcare, culture, scholarships, and the arts. Each grant follows its own eligibility criteria.

BEYOND GRANTS

Our goal goes beyond providing funding; we aim to build long-term partnerships with NGOs, equipping them with the tools and skills needed to sustain their work. BCPT supports nonprofits through capacity-building workshops and initiatives that strengthen their ability to manage and utilize grants effectively. We prioritize organizations that actively engage in these programs, as they are better positioned to achieve lasting, meaningful impact.
