Funders Help Healthy Neighborhoods Thrive
Back in 2000, visionary local funders recognized that many strong Baltimore neighborhoods were losing ground because home ownership was down, property values weren't increasing, and houses in need of repair weren't being fixed. Because these weren't the worst-off neighborhoods, they were being ignored by traditional public sector programs. These funders created Healthy Neighborhoods, an initiative with a mission to help strong but undervalued neighborhoods improve properties, attract homeownership, forge strong bonds between neighbors, and successfully market their communities.
Snapshots of Philanthropy offer a glimpse into the many ways funders are making a difference in our community. These snapshots are a series of 25 profiles created to celebrate the work of local grantmakers in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers (ABAG) and they are representative of the many ways that funders have had an impact in the community the last 25 years.
