Description
Established in 2012, the Mitzvah Fund at the Baltimore Community Foundation supports organizations with modest, one-time funding needs in Baltimore City and surrounding counties. The fund prioritizes programmatic support in housing, early childhood education, human services, immigration, and workforce development.
The program is intended for established nonprofits with budgets of $500,000 or less, rather than start-up organizations or institutions of higher education. Its focus is on discrete funding needs, not general operating support or continued multi-year funding. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed quarterly, subject to available funding.
