Disclaimers
While this database contains more than 500 entities, it is not a complete list of the thousands of organizations doing impactful work. Organizations are invited to fill out this Card Creation Form to be added to the CaPA Connector.
Most of the CaPA Connector data is self-reported by the organizations and CaPA has not completed a 3rd party assessment of accuracy.
CaPA evaluates where programs are fielded within a State by using congressional district boundaries. An org delivering engagement actions within the boundaries of a congressional district does not necessarily mean that group is engaging in a congressional district race.
