At Capitalize for Kids, philanthropy is more than giving — it's impact.
The publicly funded child and youth mental health system is hardly a system.
Our fragmented network of overworked professionals are tangled in red tape and outdated systems, leading to crippling wait times. With limited affordable private care options, most families have nowhere else to turn. This is where we step in.
At Capitalize for Kids, we harness a unique approach to create system-level change across the community child and youth mental health sector. We partner with community-based agencies to identify, fund, and implement scalable, long-lasting solutions so mental health professionals can provide quality and timely care.
By sharing the latest tools and technologies, streamlining inefficient processes, and measuring the tangible impact of our efforts, we use our consulting skills to enact real, positive change in the child and youth mental health space – removing barriers, reducing waitlists, and improving the operational and clinical landscape for all community-based mental health agencies.
How our organization is driving system-level change in child and youth mental health:
Making Care Possible
Improving operational efficiency so agencies can spend more time serving young people.
Improving Care with Data
Equipping agencies and decision makers with the data required to provide the best care to young people.
Opening Doors to Care
Connecting mental health services to make it easier and faster for young people to access the care they require.
Reimagining Care
Supporting innovation in programs and tools to fill gaps and better meet the complexity of mental health challenges faced by young people.
At Capitalize for Kids, impact isn’t just a goal—it’s the measure of our success. Our work is guided by five key domains that ensure every initiative leads to meaningful, lasting change:
By prioritizing these domains, we ensure that every effort we make contributes to a stronger, more effective mental health system for children and youth.
