Black Philanthropy Circle, a fund at the Baltimore Community Foundation, has been launched to focus on charitable giving to nonprofits that directly support Black people and communities in the Baltimore area.
The Circle plans to award $25,000 grants to Black-led nonprofits or those that are based in Black communities. Nonprofits that focus on the following areas will receive priority: arts and culture, economic welfare, education, non-political community organizing, environment, human services, and health and wellness. The group has begun its first grant-making cycle and will be accepting applications until Feb. 28.
