Kathryn Babcock is the visionary behind capitalW - a company that was born out of her conviction that the 'scarcity cycle' of non-profit resourcing must be re-envisioned. Under Kathryn's leadership, convened a cadre of experts in capitalization of social purpose work, innovative approaches to mobilizing funds on the principle of organizational thriving not surviving, and a commitment to providing data-driven solutions to understanding the flow of capital and resourcing social impact. 

 

With a vision to transform the way we think about resourcing important work, to shining a light on an entire ecosystem of financing our social fabric, to ensuring the inclusion of data that is often left uncounted and unexamined, Kathryn has spear-headed thoughtful convenings and concrete contributions to advance the mapping of non-profit and charity data and capitalization, identifying gaps, creating participatory models of data collection and analysis. 

 

Kathryn's two decades in fundraising and corporate sponsorship/partnership has enabled her to envisage allies from non-profits, private sector innovators, forward-thinking data analysts, technology developers, as well as government relations expertise to change how we think about documenting, measuring and illuminating the flow of capital from all sources (from private to public institutions) to those who implement the programmes that advance the well-being of our communities.
