Organizations

CAPD’s mission is to help foundations, community collaborations and organizations, and governments and public systems craft and execute thoughtful responses to pressing social issues. The central theme of its work is positive social change. One of its goals is to help those with whom it works to strengthen their ability to make important and lasting change. Its work is characterized by a “theory of change” approach, a focus on results and outcomes, and a racialized perspective.

Major areas of CAPD’s work include:

• Leadership and community building;
• Social justice and anti-racism initiatives;
• System change; and
• Children and families
