C-CAP Receives the Bank of America Neighborhood Builders® Award
Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP), a national non-profit that guides underserved high school students toward culinary careers, is proud to announce it was selected as one of only two New York City non-profit organizations to receive the prestigious Neighborhood Builders® award from Bank of America.
As a Neighborhood Builder awardee, C-CAP will receive $200,000 in flexible funding, leadership development for the organization’s president and an additional emerging leader, and the opportunity to connect to a network of peer organizations.
The generous support will allow C-CAP to look strategically at how best to expand its reach, introduce more underserved high school students to a dynamic career path, and support them along their journey. As a result, Bank of America is adding support to the local economy and the quality of life for C-CAP students, their families, and communities, while also helping strengthen the network of nonprofit leadership.
