For donors who seek to deploy funds strategically in targeted geographies, with high-impact yet low-profile community organizations, the CaPA Connector dynamic database offers a powerful tool of discovery.

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.

Over four million people don't vote where they live. An enlistee in the Navy from North Carolina can vote--from San Diego. An NC A&T student in Brazil this semester can vote too. But they probably won't--unless someone asks them. Building Bridges for America is going to ask.
Building Bridges for America mobilizes and empowers networks of relational grassroots organizers to create an equitable and informed electorate.

We do this by leading an integrated voter engagement program where all aspects of voter engagement, issue-based campaigns, leadership development, voting reform and protection, and narrative change form a continuous cycle of political consciousness. Through our work, we empower and equip the Latinx community to become agents of change now.

UFR will expand our organizing power to push back against harmful policies impacting workers. Our Georgia worker organizing and civic participation program has had wins to improve workplace conditions, including securing clean water, working restrooms, and wage increases. This will serve as a model we’ll scale nationally and across targeted geographies (Michigan, California) to build a multiracial base of working class voters who are shifting the narrative around their grueling working conditions, and impacting elections.
UFR's civic engagement program integrates online/offline organizing to boost voter turnout from a low-wage, majority women and BIPOC voting bloc of 2 million people across urban, rural, and suburban geographies.
