The BCYF Grassroots Fund addresses traditional gaps in Baltimore’s funding landscape by providing funding for grassroots, Baltimore-based, youth-serving organizations in support of an organization’s overall mission. In addition to financial support, organizations awarded a grant from the Grassroots Fund will also receive rigorous capacity-building support to help them sustain and grow.
The Spring grant cycle will accept and review all applications from eligible organizations. BCYF will also provide robust technical assistance for applicants. The Fund will award $150,000 three-year grants to community accountable organizations. The grants are payable in equal installments over three years. Operating on a multi-year grant cycle allows BCYF to invest in building the capacity of its grantees, which positions organizations for success beyond BCYF-funding.
The 2022 application is now closed.
All applicants will receive decision letters by August 31, 2022.
