What is Capital Cause?
Capital Cause - an organization founded for young professional, by young professionals - seeks to blaze a new trail by differentiating itself from similar organizations. Instead of just asking for contributions in the form of time, money and in public service, Capital Cause engages young professionals in a reciprocal model of giving, and ensures that each contributor gets something back, each time they give.
In other words, every gift becomes an investment!
We do this by, planning creatively themed fundraisers where proceeds are donated to local DC Metro nonprofits, organizing interactive power sessions and awarding grant money to young professionals between the ages of 21-35 years of age.
Through our efforts, we hope to build a new generation of donors committed to the idea of giving back financially and in public service. We hope you will join us and become part of the Capital Cause movement!
