Discover. Share. Advocate. Lead.

The Capita Foundation values creative, novel research with great potential for practical application.

The Capita Foundation is one of the few privately funded nonprofit organizations specializing in the support of cutting-edge auditory research worldwide. We support innovative approaches to hearing research by sharing knowledge and connecting people and ideas. Even when the Capita Foundation isn’t directly funding research, we’re advocating research.

additional grants to continue critical research.
