The CaPA Connector is 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 dynamic database offers a powerful tool of discovery. This database is constantly updated and can be filtered by geography, constituencies, engagement actions, and other criteria.

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.
Alaska Public Interest Research Group (AKPIRG) is a nonprofit founded in 1974 that is committed to connecting Alaskans to reliable information about public interest issues. Unlike most PIRGs, AKPIRG has no ties to university or student PIRG organizations, or to the national PIRG system. Designed to represent the interests of consumers, AKPIRG provides a vehicle for promoting the concerns of under-represented Alaskans into the mainstream of public policy making. We have five intersecting and often-related issue areas that we work on: energy, broadband, economic justice, language access, and good government.
