The CAPK Foundation was created to address the immediate funding needs of Community Action Partnership of Kern (CAPK) and to develop unrestricted funding sources to support their programs that serve people who face poverty and economic disadvantage. It is the philanthropic catalyst that provides the essential tools and resources CAPK needs to transform communities into places where poverty is rare, homelessness is brief, the hungry are nourished, and children and families have an equal chance to reach their full potential.Why Support Us...Although grants are currently a reliable source of funding to support CAPK programs, grants can be restrictive and don't allow for our communities’ emerging problems and persisting needs. As a result, there remains a substantial funding gap that leaves a financial instability in several of our CAPK programs. You can help close that gap with your donation to the CAPK Foundation. With your support, we can continue to provide essential services to an ever-growing number of persons who are facing food insecurities, poverty and homelessness each year.
