“The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated many long-standing community issues ranging from racial and financial inequity to gaps in workforce development.
To address these disparities, Capital One recently committed $3.5 million to 12 organizations nationwide that are closing gaps in equity and opportunity, including nonprofits Merit America and Year Up. Each nonprofit will receive $250,000 in resiliency grant funding to help those disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.”
