The National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders (NALCAB) helps build capacity of organizations in emerging communities through grant making.

NALCAB awarded MLCDC with a $10,000.00 grant for the year 2012. This grant will help MLCDC to provide services to the growing population of Latinos in the greater Omaha area in the state of Nebraska and Pottawattamie County in the state of Iowa. The Latino population is in search of employment into opportunities to care for their young children, and methods of becoming acculturated to mainstream society including the U.S. financial system. This grant was possible for the generous support of the Open Society Foundation.
