The National Community Action Partnership is the nonprofit, national membership organization representing the interests of the 1,100 Community Action Agencies (CAAs) across the country that annually help 17 million low-income Americans achieve economic security.  Whether it's a Head Start program, Weatherization, job training, housing, social enterprise, economic development, entrepreneurship training, food bank, energy assistance, financial education, or any of the other 40+ distinct programs, CAAs work to make America a better place to live. 
 
In order to help CAAs meet ever-changing community needs, NCAP sponsors an annual convention, publishes a quarterly magazine, provides training and technical assistance opportunities, and a weekly electronic newsletter.  The Partnership sponsors a national certification program for individual CAAs ("Pathways to Excellence,"​ based on the Baldrige standards) and a rigorous training program for individual Community Action leaders ("Certified Community Action Professional,"​ CCAP).  

NCAP handles information requests from the news media and the general public. Our staff can be reached via phone, 202-265-7546, or e-mail, info@communityactionpartnership.com.
