2022 Baltimore Nonprofit Relief Fund (Maryland)

In this round of nonprofit relief funding, the Civic Fund will approach grant decision-making with an equity lens, including prioritizing specific types of organizations:

• Organizations that have not previously received funding from local, state, or federal COVID-19 relief programs, including prior rounds of the Baltimore Nonprofit Relief Fund.
• Organizations located in a qualified census tract in Baltimore City.
• Organizations that employ more than half of their staff as Baltimore City residents.
• Organizations with 20 or fewer full-time employees.
