Past Grants

Baltimore City Department of Planning

For support of the Decision Modeling Tool for Vacant Structure Demolition and Redevelopment Project. A partnership between the Department of Housing and Community Development and the Office of Sustainability will use the funds to develop a more efficient method of organizing data that identifies potential for nonresidential reuse of vacant properties and lots, and assists in targeting limited demolition resources where they may have the greatest effect.

Charles Village Community Foundation, Inc.

Toward support of the Public Safety Surveillance Project, which provides installation of 12 cameras for security of the streets and public areas in the Greater Charles Village area. The project is expected to reduce robberies, assaults, and burglaries; increase the rate of apprehended suspects; and improve response time for victims.

Fusion Partnerships, Inc.

Toward support of the Community Supported Wellness Program’s Real Food, Real You Project, a healthy-food initiative for Southwest Baltimore residents. The project consists of four-week classes that provide a community-centered hands-on learning experience for family food planners.
