We’re thrilled to be featured in one of Jotform’s national case studies—specifically around how BCYF is reimagining what community-centered grantmaking can look like.
“Every minute that a grantee is tied up in a bureaucratic process is a minute that a young person is not getting access to high‑quality youth programs that these dollars can support and sustain.” — Alysia Lee, BCYF President & CEO
The feature highlights how BCYF uses custom-built forms and streamlined systems to reflect our core belief: that the people closest to the work should be at the center of how funding is designed, delivered, and evaluated.
Why this matters for Baltimore:
- More access, less paperwork. Community leaders spend less time stuck in systems—and more time supporting young people.
- Equity is built in. Our tech choices reflect our values: language accessibility, flexibility, and transparency.
- A model worth scaling. BCYF’s approach centers justice, not just efficiency.
