Details:
The ENOUGH initiative focuses on communities that have been disproportionately impacted by decades of disinvestment and harmful public policies that often systematized and reinforced race-based discrimination, limited wealth creation, and blocked pathways to economic mobility. The initiative is a state-led, place-based strategy to create poverty fighting opportunities driven by communities’ lived experience and expertise, data and cross-sector partnerships.
The Collaboration Council, which serves as the Local Management Board (LMB) in Montgomery County, will leverage its local infrastructure, partnerships, and expertise to build the capacity of high poverty communities and community-based organizations to work in partnership to design and implement strategies that increase economic mobility and reduce child poverty in support of the ENOUGH Initiative.
The Collaboration Council is seeking applications from community organizations based in neighborhoods around Montgomery County, MD, that have a childhood poverty rate of 20% or more and have faced historic underinvestment in the areas of education, health, workforce, housing, and community safety for a capacity building grant opportunity.
