The CaPAConnector 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 CaPAConnector 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.
Founded in 2001, the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project (SWEEP) is a public interest nonprofit dedicated to achieving a healthy, equitable, and low carbon future by advancing clean energy, energy efficiency, electrification, and clean transportation solutions in the southwestern United States. In collaboration with state and local governments, utilities, environmental and community groups, businesses, agencies, and others, SWEEP advocates for programs, policies, and funding to mitigate climate change and its impacts, support underserved and disadvantaged communities, and save people money on energy and transportation costs. SWEEP has helped pass more than 150 state laws across the Southwest.
SWEEP will work to advance a clean and equitable energy future in 2025 through three programs: 1) Utilities: Working to get utilities to invest in renewable energy resources, energy efficiency programs, and demand response efforts to reduce energy waste, utility bills, and emissions; 2) Buildings: Ensuring that homes and commercial buildings are constructed or retrofitted to be energy efficient and heated and cooled with clean electricity; and 3) Transportation: electrifying the transportation sector; promoting multimodal alternatives like transit, biking, and walking; and advocating for smart land use and affordable infill housing to reduce travel costs, demand, and emissions.
