The Bunbury Fund’s mission is to strengthen the ability of nonprofit organizations to do their best work, specifically through capacity building efforts. This includes support that allows organizations to deliver their missions with greater confidence. The Fund emphasizes the importance of identifying capacity building needs by the staff and board of the organization itself, aiming for sustainable and effective organizational operations and growth. The Bunbury Fund values building meaningful, evolving, and transparent relationships with the organizations it supports, fostering collaboration with regional organizations to enhance the nonprofit sector's effectiveness.

The Fund for Women and Girls (FWG) endorses projects that embody diversity, equity, and inclusion, offering both program/project-specific and operating expense grants, and under certain criteria, may invest in capital projects or provide multi-year funding.
