Description
The Stronger Schools & Stronger Neighborhoods Grants, offered by the Baltimore Community Foundation, are designed to empower nonprofits and projects that foster positive, sustainable change in Baltimore City and County. The program funds initiatives that create thriving environments for children and residents, with a dual focus:
- Stronger Schools grants support efforts to enhance kindergarten readiness, improve student mental health, and advance school climate and culture.
- Stronger Neighborhoods grants back projects that make neighborhoods safer, cleaner, greener, and more vibrant.
Successful proposals are community-driven, collaborative, and clearly outline how success will be measured and tracked.
