About Martha's Table
Martha’s Table Inc. has used large, recurring grants to advance economic mobility, especially for Black and Latina women in Washington, DC. In 2023, it gave $536,250 to Venture Philanthropy Partners and $433,266 to American University under the same economic-progress initiative, showing a programmatic approach rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s work also reaches practical support for basic needs: Capital Area Asset Builders received $728,668 in 2025 for a cash assistance program, and Capital Area Food Bank received $584,148 in 2024 for grantee payments tied to AEEC. Across the recent grants listed here, Martha’s Table Inc. appears as a local funder that backs community organizations, universities, and intermediaries with substantial operating and programmatic support. Its stated priorities include early childhood education, youth and older youth programs, food access, health and wellness, family supports, and workforce and entrepreneurship. That mix is reflected in grants for job skills training, food pantry services, and community impact funding, alongside investments designed to strengthen neighborhood-led initiatives and community partners.
What Martha's Table Funds
Economic mobility is a defining thread in Martha’s Table Inc.’s grantmaking. It awarded $536,250 to Venture Philanthropy Partners in 2023 and $100,000 to Community Foundation of Greater Washington in 2023 for promoting Black and Latina women’s economic progress. The same theme appears in the 2025 Community Impact Fund grant of $365,400 to Greater Washington Community Foundation for community-led initiatives tied to entrepreneurship and economic mobility. Basic needs support is also visible in the grant list. Capital Area Food Bank received $37,500 in 2025 for a food pantry, while Capital Area Asset Builders received $728,668 in 2025 for a cash assistance program. Workforce-related giving is present as well: Urban Alliance received $55,263 in 2025 for job skills training.
How Martha's Table Gives
Typical awards are mid-to-large in size, with a p25 of $160,000, a median of $290,855, and a p75 of $403,460. The recent record shows repeat grants to the same organizations across multiple years, including Capital Area Asset Builders, Capital Area Food Bank, Venture Philanthropy Partners, American University, Trinity Washington University, and Lift Inc. That pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time checks. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its active programs also indicate a grantmaking structure centered on community investments, technical assistance, and program-specific support.
