In 2020 the Capitals organization and Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE) Foundation created the Capital Impact Fund to provide grants to organizations that assist in eliminating cost barriers faced by individuals of color in the hockey community. In addition, the Capital Impact Fund has also provided funding for the Capitals Rising Stars Academy since 2023 to enable individuals to participate at no cost. Through its distribution of grants and support of the Rising Stars Academy, the Capital Impact Fund aims to assist minority youth players in reaching their greatest potential and to create more equal playing fields for all. The Capital Impact Fund grants are designed to provide financial support to local nonprofit organizations dedicated to further advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in hockey. The objective of each grant is to provide access to the sport in all forms and should concentrate, but not be limited to: equipment, ice time, school programs, program fees and access to the game. The Capitals Rising Stars Academyprovides elite skill development and mentorship for local hockey players of color and their families. The programemphasizes physical and mental strength and includes social discussions around the culture of hockey. To learn more about the Capital Impact Fund, click here.
