Funders Help Reform Eviction Process
In philanthropy, getting a law changed for the better is a "win" with very significant and long-lasting impact. That's what grantmakers helped accomplish by funding the work of the Public Justice Center (PJC) and Citizen's Planning and Housing Association (CPHA) to give tenants proper notice of evictions and prohibit landlords from dumping their belongings in the streets through the Tenant Advocacy Project.
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.
Blog on philanthropy! We also know that there are many more stories to be told, and invite you to share a story about your charitable giving and its impact on our community. Telling your philanthropic story helps to reinforce the value of philanthropy and the impact of the sector!

Funders Invest Together in Columbia
Forty years ago when visionary urban planner, real estate developer and philanthropist James W. Rouse built the planned community of Columbia, he intentionally set out to create a small-town atmosphere through the development of ten self-contained villages around which day-to-day life would revolve. Decades later, Rouse's vision of community spirit has clearly taken hold. Several years ago, community leaders sprung into action when they learned that the state might declare the Oakland Mills Village Center in Columbia a "hot spot" due to a surge in crime.

Funders Collaborate to Invest in Neighborhoods
In the mid-1990s, a group of Baltimore-area grantmakers, concerned that a growing number of city neighborhoods were showing signs of decline, joined forces to create a special funding pool. Their goal was to attract new funding partners and strengthen local community development organizations so they could better serve Baltimore's neighborhoods. Housed at the Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers, the Baltimore Neighborhood Collaborative (BNC) pools funding from banks, foundations and local businesses.
