What is needed
Clearly identify the capital item or items your nonprofit is requesting.
Practical support for nonprofit work
Giving a little where it matters most.
Helping nonprofits meet needs others may overlook.
The Buchanan-Clements Foundation considers requests for small- to medium-sized capital items that can make a practical difference in the work nonprofit organizations do every day.
Our Mission
Support where it can make a practical difference.
Nonprofits often have specific capital needs that do not fit the priorities of their regular donors. We consider those requests with an open mind.
Our purpose is straightforward: help nonprofit organizations obtain useful items that support their work, their people and the communities they serve.
