Data
Capitalize Good’s data strategy integrates two types of data collection: a database of Enterprise Capital grantmaking and an evaluation of current and future demonstration projects.
The overarching goal of the data strategy is to shift mindsets on grantee financing requirements and philanthropic funding responsibilities and best practices.
Learning Communities
Capitalize Good works with funders, trade associations, and philanthropic affinity groups to provide both strategic and technical resources. For example, Capitalize Good is leading the learning community for the Citi Foundation’s Community Progress Makers initiative, delivering training and financial technical assistance to the 50 grantees receiving Enterprise Capital to support their efforts to maximize the value of this funding.
The team is also launching an Enterprise Capital Affinity Group to create a national community of funders and social sector leaders committed to advancing this type of funding.
Speaking Engagements and Publications
Knowledge building is an essential pillar of Capitalize Good’s theory of change. The team participates in numerous conferences and webinars throughout the year, and organizes panels, networking events, and small-group convenings.
In addition to speaking engagements, the team has authored several thought pieces on philanthropy and nonprofit finance, and continues to seek opportunities to disseminate knowledge, exchange ideas, and learn from practitioners.
