Donors in the Spotlight

Capital One
Started as an independent company in 1995, Capital One has quickly risen to the top of the financial services industry in the U.S., with a global customer base of 49.2 million and managed loans totaling $84.8 billion. Through our pioneering information technology efforts, Capital One is in a prime position to lead the financial services marketplace through this century.

Their success is directly attributed to our progressive efforts in information technology, customer acquisition, and customer retention. Through our proprietary Information-Based Strategy (IBS), we have the ability to tailor our products to the appropriate customers as well as ensure that each individual customer's needs are being serviced efficiently. We also continue to look at ways in which we can apply our innovative IBS to capitalize on promising markets, including auto finance, home loans, and patient financing.

Capital One is seeking a high impact partnership with DC College Access Program including multi-year funding, executive board participation, and associate volunteer engagement that utilizes business competencies to address organizational needs.

Capital One has committed to be the presenting sponsor of the DC-CAP Graduation Celebration events in June 2005 and June 2006.

Carnegie Corporation of New York
The Carnegie Corporation of New York was created by Andrew Carnegie in 1911 to promote "the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding" and has led it to nearly 100 years of work, to support efforts to improve teaching and learning that have the potential to make a lasting and long-term contribution to the field of education. As a grantmaking foundation, the Corporation seeks to carry out Carnegie's vision of philanthropy, which he said should aim "to do real and permanent good in this world." While current program directions have been designed to correspond with the Corporation's historic mission and legacy and to maintain the continuity of its work, they are also intended to serve as catalysts for change. The overall goal is to increase access to quality education and a rich educational experience for all students that will prepare them for success in today’s knowledge-based economy.

Through that spirit of compassion and commitment to community, the Carnegie Corporation of New York awarded DC-CAP a major grant in memory of those who died on September 11, 2001 in New York City, at the Pentagon outside of Washington, DC and in the fields of Pennsylvania and in recognition of the potential of tomorrow’s leaders. The award honors the memory of members of the DCPS family. The grant will help support on-going operations and scholarships. On-going operations include, student and parent counseling, educational planning, college counseling and retention services. Carnegie scholarships will be awarded to students enrolling in college in the Fall of 2004. Thanks to the Carnegie Corporation of New York, DC-CAP is able to provide direct college counseling services and assistance to thousands of District students.

Michael and Susan Dell Foundation
Established in 1999, the Foundation believes a child’s future begins with a healthy environment. The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation proactively seeks out opportunities to support or develop programs that address their five essential focus areas: children’s health, education, safety, youth development and early childhood care. The mission of the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation is to encourage and inspire children to reach their greatest potential. Their vision is to create enduring, systemic change that removes barriers, encourages children to make the right choices, inspires them to change the way they think about their future and equips them with the tools and life skills they need to help themselves. It is essential to equip children with the skills and tools necessary to reach their full potential by graduating from high school and attending college.

DC-CAP wishes to thank the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation for supporting DC-CAP programs and activities that enrich the lives of children and families in our community and region.
