Community Action Marin

Community Action Marin was incorporated in 1966 with an initial $40,000 Federal Grant. In 1967, the Marin County Board of Supervisors designated CAM as the county’s official antipoverty agency. Our mandate was, and is, to eliminate the causes and consequences of poverty in Marin County. Community Action Marin has gained valuable experience in diagnosing poverty conditions and operating needed and responsive programs. In the past, the Agency was known to raise the level of social tension within the County in order to bring attention to the needs of its clients.
