About Me

I’m Christine Bork. For more than 30 years, I’ve worked alongside nonprofits and donors—building fundraising teams, shaping giving strategies, and seeing up close what truly creates lasting impact.

I currently serve as Chief Development Officer at the American Academy of Pediatrics, where our work supports 67,000 pediatricians and helps improve the health and well-being of children across the country.

I started Cause & Capital because I believe generosity deserves thought, care, and intention. Each month, I share practical insights on philanthropic strategy, highlighting campaigns, leaders, and lessons to help you give with greater confidence and purpose.
