[YEP-DC] [Education Nonprofits] Apply for a Capital Cause Monetary Grant! - Deadline 2/28/13

Capital Cause is pleased to announce its 2013 Cycle of Capital Giving Circles Grants!

 

Capital Cause is a fiscally-sponsored nonprofit that enables a new generation of young philanthropists to maximize their charitable impact through collective giving.  In order to achieve this mission, Capital Cause engages members in attending fundraisers, participating in service projects and funding micro-grants to local nonprofit organizations. Since 2009, Capital Cause has awarded nearly 20 micro-grants to deserving nonprofits across the Washington Metropolitan Area, and your nonprofit could be next!

 

I am writing to extend a special invite to your nonprofit to apply a Giving Circles Micro-Grant.  A Giving Circles Micro-Grant  funds specific projects that meet the programmatic needs of a nonprofit.
