Two D.C.-area nonprofits have been named Bank of America Neighborhood Builders for their long-term commitments to improving the economic mobility of families throughout the region.

Marthaโ€™s Table, a charity that provides food and education programs for needy children and families, and Capital Area Asset Builders, which aims to help low- and moderate-income Black and brown families attain financial stability and long-term wealth, each will receive a $200,000 grant in addition to leadership training, collaboration opportunities with a nationwide network of peer organizations and access to capital for further expansion of their social impact, Bank of America said.

โ€œMarthaโ€™s Table is legendary in our area for keeping kids nourished and educated. CAAB has a great history of helping families build wealth that lasts for generations,โ€ said Larry Di Rita, president of Bank of Americaโ€™s greater Washington, D.C. market. โ€œMarthaโ€™s Table and CAAB are at the forefront in the DMV at helping many of our neighbors get through some challenging times.โ€

Now in its 17th year, Bank of Americaโ€™s Neighborhood Builders program has partnered with 34 Washington-area nonprofits since 2004, providing $6,800,000 in grant funding.
