FAMILY ASSET BUILDING PROGRAM

 

In addition to the activities offered through BPP’s core program calendar, organizations that fund or run asset building programs in the border region can take advantage of the BPP’s Family Asset Building Program (FAB).

The FAB program offers targeted trainings on innovation and evaluation for organizations working to help low-income families and communities get out of poverty and reach financial stability. Our FAB program also explores asset building in the Mexican context and raises important policy issues facing practitioners in the border region. Learn and network with leading organizations and professionals in asset building across the border region through FAB.
