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.
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.
