The Capital Bank was created as a mechanism to increase the power of individual giving by combining resources to make a larger impact! It's not a bank in the traditional sense of the word, but it still serves the same purpose by aggregating the donations of Young Philanthropists and CC Supporters in order to use them to support a cause.
Anyone can donate through us to the nonprofit we are raising money to support and their money will be combined with others to make a huge impact. Young Philanthropists (or CC Members), however, will have the added privilege of voting for the nonprofit that receives the contributions.
But, Capital Cause, what is this voting you are talking about?
On a bi-monthly basis, Captial Cause will select two nonprofits that have applied for a donation of public service hours and for a donation of grant money. Members are then asked to vote on which nonprofit they think deserves the donation of time and of money. A majority vote decides which nonprofit receieves which donation, and supporters and members benefit by knowing their combined contributions made a difference.

When is the last time your $5.00 contribution had the potential to make a $500 difference?
When is the last time your $30.00 conbribution had the potential to make a $3,000 difference?
Allow Capital Cause to show you how! We accept contributions as low as $1.00 to the Capital Bank from supporters, and they are welcome to contribute early and often. Or, we also offer the option of membership which requires a one-time $30 contribution.
We're making giving back fun, revolutionary and impactful. What will your contribution be?
