Baltimore Community Fellowships

Our Initiatives

Application Guidelines  |  Fellows & Grantees  |  Fellows Profiles

The Baltimore Community Fellowships were established to assist individuals wishing to apply their education and professional experiences to serve marginalized communities. The goals of these fellowships are to encourage public and community service careers, expand the number of mentors and role models available to youth in inner-city neighborhoods, and promote entrepreneurial initiatives that empower communities to increase opportunities and improve the quality of life for their residents.

Up to 10 individuals are awarded a Community Fellowship to implement innovative projects that seek to improve the circumstances and capacity of an underserved community in Baltimore City. Applicants may apply for a fellowship either:

1. to work under the auspices of a nonprofit organization in Baltimore City; or
2. to work independently.

In cases where the fellowship takes place at an organization in Baltimore, applicants must secure sponsorship from that organization. The applicant's project must be harmonious with the mission of the host organization.
