The Summer Funding Collaborative consists of public, private, and non-profit funders. The mission of the SFC is to fund different types of summer programs to keep students engaged and reduce summer learning loss so that more youth can reach their full potential. While members of the Collaborative bring their own priorities to the table, they work together to make complementary funding decisions with the goal of fully funding as many high-quality summer programs as possible.
Baltimore’s Promise is the Administrative Backbone for the Collaborative and works on its behalf to make sure that the youth review process, summer grant making, data collection and analysis, grantee professional development, and summer provider network-building are implemented.
Collectively the SFC invested $5.3 million into 93 high-quality summer programs. BCYF committed $2 million and prioritized organizations serving older youth (ages 18-24) and/or led by Black, Brown, Indigenous, or Asian folks (or BIPOC-led).

“Baltimore Children & Youth Fund (BCYF) is honored to make an investment in older youth who are often overlooked and lack access to out-of-school time enrichment,” said Alysia Lee, President of the Baltimore Children & Youth Fund. “These young people are close to or in the beginning phases of adult-hood and they need to know they still have the support of their city and its institutions.”
