About CAAB

Mission

Capital Area Asset Builders (CAAB) creates opportunities for people of all incomes to improve their financial management skills, increase their savings, and build wealth. We believe that a prosperous community is one in which everyone has incentives and opportunities to save for the future.

How CAAB works

CAAB works for economic inclusion—narrowing the income and wealth gap in a rapidly growing economy. In DC communities where poverty is concentrated, it is critical to create pathways for residents to increase their earnings and build wealth through asset ownership.

CAAB provides consumers with information and support to help them better manage their money and set and achieve financial goals. We sponsor financial workshops on topics such as budgeting and saving, understanding credit, understanding income taxes, saving for retirement, saving for college, and investing. CAAB also provides matched savings programs to promote homeownership, postsecondary education, and small business development.
