Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s stated mission is to enrich the lives of children in the communities it serves by supporting organizations that help children facing physical disabilities, illness, abuse, poverty, the absence of a parent, and other challenges. Its grant programs support charities serving children locally and nationally, as well as organizations helping families affected by disasters or other crises.
The 2024 grants included organizations with varied missions. Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center describes its work as using horses to support people with disabilities. Wonders & Worries describes its mission as providing free professional support to children and teenagers during a parent’s serious illness or injury. Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Program describes its work as building young leaders through development support and pathways to success.
Grantmaking
The National Partnership Grant Program selects up to five organizations for grants of $25,000 and one Charity of Choice for a $100,000 grant plus project support. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations whose work aligns with the foundation’s mission. The foundation’s website states that the 2026 grant cycle is closed and that recipients will be announced in mid-June.
Other programs include crisis grants for charities assisting families severely affected by natural disasters or other crises, and employee-requested small grants of up to $2,500 for vetted charities. Only CAPTRUST employees may apply for crisis grants on behalf of an organization; employee-requested small grants are also restricted to CAPTRUST employees. The foundation says it screens organizations for alignment with its mission and indicates its preferred use of funds in correspondence accompanying approved grants.
In 2024, the foundation reported 31 grants totaling $471,500; awards ranged from $5,500 to $100,000, with a median of $10,000. The largest listed award was $100,000 to Neighbor to Neighbor in Raleigh, North Carolina, which the foundation identifies as its 2024 Charity of Choice.
