Partner / Support
Help us uplift
the mothers who
uplift DC.
Capital M is an interdisciplinary, multimedia community humanities initiative. From the June 2026 launch through the April 2027 culminating exhibition, every sponsor, host, and connector multiplies what we can build.
Invest in Capital M
Fund a Story Studio, make an artist commission possible, support the Capital M publication, underwrite a community storytelling activation, invest in the Born & Raised digital campaign or help bring Who Raised You? to life.
Partner as an Aligned Organization
Nonprofits, advocacy groups, and research institutions — especially in maternal health, family policy, and DC civic life — can amplify Capital M's reach and deepen the work. Partners help contextualize emerging themes, contribute subject-matter expertise, share research that grounds our findings, and co-amplify stories to the communities that need them most.
Connect with DC Moms
Make an introduction. Every ward, every background, every experience matters. The more DC mothers we reach, the richer the portrait.
Bring Capital M to Your Community
Invite Capital M into an existing gathering, workplace, campus, conference or community event for a Story Stop, facilitated conversation or other story-collection experience.
Provide Space + In-Kind Resources
Contribute space, services or resources that help bring Capital M to life — from venues and hospitality to photography, videography, A/V, production, printing, design, transportation and more.
Spread the Word
Share the project with your networks. The more DC hears about Capital M, the richer the stories we'll collect.
Investment Opportunities
What You Can Make Possible
Capital M offers opportunities to support a single story, gathering or creative commission — or invest in the larger project. Financial and in-kind partnerships help us compensate creatives, reach more mothers, produce original storytelling and make the final experience accessible to the community.
