Over 40 Maryland foundations accept ABAG's Common Grant Application format.

"Community Comes Through for City Schools" 

It is an exciting time for public education in Baltimore. In late December, the United States Department of Education announced the grantees for its highly competitive Investing in Innovation (i3) grants, awarded to support the validation and expansion of innovative programs that benefit high-need public school students. Out of nearly 600 applications, only 23 grants were awarded, two of which will be implemented in Baltimore City Public Schools - By Betsy Nelson, Special to The Daily Record, February 28, 2012 

"Legal Safety Net Needs Stable Funding"  

It likely comes as no surprise to anyone that poor people haven't seen their fate improve since the advent of the Great Recession.

Nor would most people be surprised to learn that there are more people living in poverty in the United States today than at any other time in our country's history - By Betsy Nelson, Special to The Daily Record, February 12, 2012 

"ABAG Partners on The Library Project"

The Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers is an official partner of the Library Project, an initiative of [ABAG Member] The Weinberg Foundation to provide thousands of new books for Baltimore City Public School libraries and children's homes - By Betsy Nelson, February 24, 2012

Workforce Partnerships at Work

The future economic health of Baltimore City and the region depends on industries that can prosper in these uncertain economic times and meet their labor needs with skilled workers that have both the 'soft skills' and the 'hard skills' to obtain a job and advance into a career - By Patrice Cromwell, Chair of ABAG's Workforce Development Affinity Group and of [ABAG Member] The Annie E. Casey Foundation, Adventures in Philanthropy Blog, February 21, 2012

ABAG Affinity Groups - The Place to Be for Learning and Collaboration
