Past Grants

Mental Health Policy Institute for Leadership and Training, Inc.

For continued support of the Poverty and Depression Initiative. The program provides educational services to low-income Baltimore City residents about mental health disorders and substance abuse issues at three sites: the Men’s Health Center, Healthy State, and Rose Street Community Center.

Maryland Citizens’ Health Initiative Education Fund, Inc.

For support of public education, maintenance, and strengthening the Health Care for All! Coalition. The program functions in a population where more than 21 percent do not have medical insurance and, consequently, need to learn health care options. The objectives of the coalition are to educate the public about Maryland’s current health care system and the benefits available to the uninsured and underinsured, and to build grassroots support for a universal health care plan.

Madison Square Bucs Inner City Youth Program, Inc.

For general support of the Madison Square Buccaneers’ basketball programs for more than 180 inner-city children, ages six to 14. Operated by volunteer coaches, the program focuses on teaching basketball fundamentals while emphasizing academic achievement. The in-house league and tournament play allows the children to participate in an instructional and competitive environment, and so benefit from the diversity they encounter in different regions and schools.

Koinonia Baptist Church

For removal of lead in metal windows in a building that houses a day care program for toddlers.

Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute

For the development and evaluation of the Urban eClinic Project, an electronic system created to improve health care in an urban setting.
