Yes. The process of implementing the plan has begun, and will continue over the course of the next five years. Can I apply for funding now?

Our grant process for the CBP will follow our typical practice of always-on sourcing and relationship development, and we will only be accepting grant requests received by invitation. In select cases, we may supplement our approach with an open call or RFP process. Capital One’s approach recognizes the need to apply most of our funding against solutions that are driven locally at a market level.

This is also supplemented with select partnerships with national organizations that have demonstrated ability to innovate and drive impact at scale. When will more information be available? This site will continue to be updated with new information on our commitments, partners, and progress.

Existing and potential community partners are not required to take any new or additional action related to Capital One’s CBP. Has the plan changed since it was first announced? Our Community Benefits Plan was designed to meet the needs of the communities and may evolve as new needs are identified.

We will publish ongoing updates to this website and share formal updates on an annual basis, starting in the second quarter of 2026. Who can I contact if my organization has an idea or wants to share information about our work? More information about the intake process will be available in the coming weeks.

We continue to source ideas and opportunities through ongoing conversations with local leaders and our current community partners. Can an organization receive funding in more than one Community Benefits Plan impact area? Yes.

Many organizations operate across multiple issue areas, and we recognize that their impact often spans more than one area of the Community Benefits Plan. Funding decisions are made based on the alignment of an organization’s work with the plan’s goals on a case by case basis.
