The CAPTRUST Community Foundation Supports 80 Nonprofits on Annual Giving Day

Raleigh, N.C. – August 19, 2025 – The CAPTRUST Community Foundation (CCF) today announced $10,000 donations to 80 charities across the country, totaling $800,000, as part of the nonprofit’s sixth annual Giving Day.

The CCF is CAPTRUST’s 501(c)(3) foundation, dedicated to improving the lives of children in the communities where CAPTRUST operates. As part of the Giving Day campaign, each CAPTRUST office selected local organizations that support children and reflect causes meaningful to their community.

“Giving Day is more than just a philanthropic initiative, it’s a reflection of who we are as a company,” said Heather Shanahan, president of the CCF, and CAPTRUST senior director of endowments and foundations. “It’s a moment when our colleagues come together to champion causes close to home, and to invest in the future of children across the country. The energy and commitment from our offices each year reminds me that real change starts locally.”

Additionally, in response to the recent floods in Kerr County, Texas, the CCF leadership team and grant committee distributed over $125,000 to eight organizations delivering critical aid on the ground. The charities who received support from employee contributions were:

  • Ark of Highland Lakes
  • Convoy of HOPE
  • Hope Hospice
  • Kerr County Flood Relief Fund
  • Samaritan’s Purse
  • Texas Baptist Men, Inc.
  • Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System Foundation
  • Texas Search and Rescue

“With many CAPTRUST employees personally connected to the area, the outpouring of generosity has been remarkable,” said Greg Delage, CCF vice president, and director of CAPTRUST at Work. “CAPTRUST is so grateful to our employees and donors who helped us stand behind organizations that are doing the hard work on the ground.”

Founded in 2007, the foundation has awarded over $6.5 million in grants to charitable organizations across the country that help children. The CCF’s main source of fundraising is through voluntary employee payroll deductions that are matched by CAPTRUST.

The following organizations have received support from the CAPTRUST Community Foundation:
