About The Capacity Collective

We imagine a just future, where community-based organizations have the skills and resources they need to capture, analyze and share their own stories. We recognize that many social inequities are mirrored in the nonprofit sector, with larger organizations better positioned to secure sustainable funding than their smaller counterparts, which are often organizations serving and led by members of marginalized communities. Our goal is to build the capacity of smaller and grassroots organizations to better compete for funding, while also creating programs that are responsive and meaningful to the communities they serve. We believe people are the experts of their communities and experiences; we strive to share our expertise in data and evaluation in ways that can support the missions of community-based organizations in the short term and transform the nonprofit sector in the long term.

We encourage people of all backgrounds and identities to apply, including Black, Indigenous and People of Color, immigrants, refugees, women, LGBTQ+, people living with disabilities, veterans, and people who have experienced incarceration.
