Bridging the Gap: Lessons Learned from Capital Grantmaking

Have you ever dreamed of expanding your organization’s space—or even owning your own facility—to better serve the community? Many Baltimore nonprofits are exploring how property acquisition and redevelopment can strengthen their missions and deepen neighborhood impact. Yet, the path to reinvestment is often complex filled with challenges around funding, city processes, contractor management, and balancing daily operations.

We invite you to join the West Baltimore Renaissance Foundation and the Middendorf Foundation for Bridging the Gap: Lessons Learned from Capital Grantmaking and Cross-Sector Collaboration in Baltimore, an in-depth conversation on how local organizations and funders are navigating these very challenges.

Wednesday, November 19

1:00–3:00 p.m.

The Factory | 5 N. Calhoun Street, Baltimore MD 21223

This session will highlight findings from a new report led by the Middendorf Foundation and the Morehead-Cain Civic Collaboration, in collaboration with The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, The France-Merrick Foundation and The Abell Foundation, followed by a panel of community development and philanthropic leaders sharing practical insights on what it takes to move capital projects from vision to reality.

This is a program of West Baltimore Renaissance Foundation and Maryland Nonprofits Capacity Building Series
