Our Mission

OUR MISSION

Capital Cause Corporation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN: 27-1342153) dedicated to fostering community and economic empowerment through collective giving, micro-grants, and skills-based educational programming.

HISTORY

The idea of Capital Cause originated in September 2009 by a group of five dynamic women who met during the 2008 presidential election. It was during this time that a new way of giving was introduced that revolutionized the way people thought about getting involved. Instead of believing it took a large contribution to make a big difference, people realized that small contributions, when pooled together, could make an impact as well. All five women were involved and inspired during this time and by this movement.

Capital Cause continues its mission today through core community programs, including The Black Upstart (an entrepreneurship training program for underserved founders) and School at Night (an educational initiative that instructs and certifies adults in artificial intelligence, robotics and machine learning.).

MISSION OBJECTIVES

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our objective is to expand economic opportunity by providing entrepreneurship education and business training to underserved founders, teaching high-demand technical skills such as artificial intelligence to adult learners, awarding micro-grants to community-led initiatives, and mobilizing skilled professionals to support grassroots development.
