Grants Management & Compliance Manager

MASSCAP is the association of the 23 Community Action Agencies (CAAs) – federally mandated anti-poverty agencies serving close to 600,000 people in virtually every city and town in the state.  CAAs were created more than 55 years ago as part of the war on poverty to eliminate the paradox of poverty amidst plenty and to foster economic mobility and stability among our vulnerable friends and neighbors living with low incomes.  

We do this by integrating and blending over 100 services including fuel assistance, food pantries, Head Start, free tax preparation at our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites, job training, adult education, financial empowerment, homelessness prevention and much more.  CAAs also work closely with local allies in coalition to address emergent and ongoing needs and advocate locally and on the state level on behalf of the people we serve.
