The Capstone Activation Fund was created to encourage community groups and event organizers to bring events and activation ideas into Capstone in exchange for support and financial assistance. Your event or activation could earn up to $5000 in funding!

Intake opens on Feb 1, 2024 and applicants may apply for this funding at any time through the year. Please ensure your application is submitted 60 days prior to project start date. Once the Capstone Activation Fund has been exhausted for the year, applications will no longer be accepted until the next intake period (February 2025).
