OUR APPROACH
We believe the same rigor applied to financial investment should be applied to philanthropic investment.
Our Approach
Our Evaluation Framework
Every nonprofit Capital Good recommends has been evaluated across a six pillar framework and scored on a structured rating system. Our evaluation includes:
01 Charity Verification
Before anything else, we confirm that an organization is legitimate, transparent, and accountable.
Candid (GuideStar)
Charity Navigator
Secretary of State registry
Qualitative signals such as GiveWell recognition, BBB Wise Giving Alliance review, Great Nonprofits community testimony
02 Mission Alignment
A compelling mission is not enough.
Mission clarity
Program alignment
Logic model or theory of change
03 Operational Stability
A great mission means little if the organization cannot sustain itself.
Financial transparency
Revenue diversification
Expense allocation
Board engagement
Financial oversight
Risk management
04 Demonstrated Impact
It is not enough to do good work. Organizations must be able to show it.
