Charity of Choice

As the 2022 Charity of Choice, The Green Chair Project received a $100,000 grant to provide home essentials to those facing homelessness, crisis, or disaster in Wake County, North Carolina. The CAPTRUST grant will directly support the Sweeter Dreams program, providing beds and cribs to 400 children and babies. Green Chair will also receive support from CCF volunteers throughout the year.

CAPTRUST colleagues partnered with the Salvation Army to provide hundreds of children with Christmas gifts. The Exchange was overflowing with bikes, toys, clothes, and books for children in our community. Thanks to Kevin Monroe for leading the charge on this important project!

Santa Photos

Santa visited Raleigh by way of CAPTRUST’s Ken Carter for photos this Christmas, and proceeds benefitted the CAPTRUST Community Foundation. Special thanks to Kaylin Nunez and Justin Gartman for snapping photos of our North Pole visitor.

CAPTRUST is a mission-led and culture-driven organization. The collective heartbeat of our culture is defined as The CAPTRUST Way. The role of The CAPTRUST Way committee is to preserve and enhance the firm’s culture, which we view as our largest competitive advantage.
