Capacity To Impact exists to advance the betterment of the world through supporting organizations that promote equitable opportunities for all individuals.
We collaborate with social change organizations, communities, and individuals to develop and strengthen capacities and generate knowledge for positive, mission-driven, and equity-focused social impact.
We utilize collaborative, evidence-based, developmental, and asset-driven frameworks to engage partners in co-creating solutions that strengthen capacity to understand, define, and comprehensively address major social and economic equity challenges.
