Capital for Children is a philanthropic and professional networking organization of leaders in private equity and related industries that invests in nonprofits serving children, youth, and young adults in the Washington, DC region. Through a combination of financial support and members’ participation on boards, Capital for Children forms relationships with our nonprofit partners and helps strengthen their capacity and impact. We leverage the expertise of our members and provide guidance in such areas as finance, governance, and strategic planning.
OUR HISTORY
In 2006, six professionals in the DC-area private equity community came together to create an innovative membership organization with two primary goals:
1
support local nonprofit organizations focused on children’s education and youth development
2
provide professional networking opportunities to its members
In 2020, Capital for Children expanded its areas of funding to include nonprofits focused on workforce development and career- and job-readiness. Since its founding, Capital for Children has made grants totaling more than $1.9M to 14 nonprofit organizations.
For me, being a member of Capital for Children is about the power of community. A community of colleagues and friends leveraging their financial resources and expertise to facilitate the growth of the most innovative and impactful nonprofits. As a community we accomplish so much more than we could as individuals.
Being able to interact & network with my peers in finance while at the same time giving back to our community through our work with our partner nonprofits has been a truly unique opportunity. The Capital for Children model – networking linked with philanthropy- continues to deliver for all involved.
I believe we all have a responsibility to give back to our communities. Capital for Children provides a means to leverage our business acumen to help build stronger nonprofits which can then expand their programmatic delivery.
