Grants & Investments
Capcon is currently only reviewing grant proposals on an invitation basis, and thus unsolicited proposals are not accepted. We carefully assess each proposal and therefore believe it is critical to stress the quality and care of the decision-making process versus reviewing a lot of deserving organizations.
We follow a multi-step process in exploring partnerships, which includes:
- Initial screening for alignment of focus and mission
- Research and assessment of personnel
- Operational assessment
- On-site evaluation, when possible

The Enough Project seeks to end to mass atrocities in Africa’s deadliest conflict zones. Enough counters armed groups, violent kleptocratic regimes, and their commercial partners that are enriched by corruption, crimes, and trafficking of natural resources. By helping to create consequences for the major perpetrators and facilitators of atrocities and corruption, Enough seeks to build leverage in support of peace and good governance. Enough conducts research in conflict zones, engages governments and the private sector on potential policy solutions, and mobilizes public campaigns focused on peace, human rights, and breaking the links between war and illicit profit.
