CaPA Connector Plus

Dynamic Full-Access Database for Trusted Donors

What is the CaPA Connector Plus?

An interactive platform that profiles hundreds of community-rooted organizations that are engaging voters and advocating for climate, social, racial and/or economic justice. For donors who seek to deploy funds strategically in targeted geographies, with high-impact yet low-profile community organizations, the CaPA Connector Plus offers a powerful tool of discovery. Available only to our trusted donor community, the CaPA Connector Plus lets users filter down to specific geographies, demographic targets, organization types, etc. and then review details about the organization’s programs, budgets, and cost per action metrics.

How can I contribute?

The CaPA Connector Plus is designed for a wide range of donors, from pooled resource grant giving and foundation staff to individual donors and donor advisors who want to evaluate community-focused c3, c4, and PAC organizations. CaPA offers resource pooling services completely free of fiscal fees and overhead charges. With a single contribution to CaPA you can specify dozens of groups you would like to support on your behalf, or you can give unrestricted funds which will be guided to the most important financial gaps identified by CaPA’s staff. You can also reach out and give directly to the organizations via their website or listed contact.

Pro Tips

* The items within a single filter category are “or” functions. Looking for groups in [PA or WI] Each separate filter is connected by an “and” function. Looking for groups in [PA “or” WI] “and” delivering [Warm Texts “or” Relational Texts].

* You can export data from any filtered results you have created by 1) Clicking Export List, 2) Copying all org names to your clipboard 3) Opening this Connector+ Export Google Sheet 3) Make a copy of the google sheet so you are an Editor 4) Paste all org names into the org name column (A) of the Connector+ Export google Sheet. 5) In the file menu click “Update CaPA Data” -> “Sync Now”. 5) You will need to authorize the script clicking “Ok”, logging into your email, clicking “advanced” and “Go to Data Sync- Pull (unsafe)” then “Allow” 6) Re click “Update CaPA Data” - “Sync Now” and wait a couple minutes and the dato for the groups pasted in column A will be brought into the spreadsheet.

* The web filter tool is more powerful than excel’s filter tools. For this reason you may find it helpful to run one complex filter and export all of those organizational names to the Connector+ Export google Sheet, then label them within an unused note column or with a color, and then run another complex filter followed by pasting those org names into the google sheet with associated labeling. When you click “Update CaPA Data” it will import data for all the orgs listed in the Org Name column but not overwrite the user notes at the far right in the columns with white headers in row 4.

*Having the data in a google sheet, while more difficult to read, may be advantageous for developing customized scoring algorithms that take into consideration geographic or other preferences, and/or for assigning dollar amounts or other notes to award dockets you may be working on.
