When we looked back on our accomplishments and ahead with excitement to our 50th anniversary, we realized that our visual identity did not match the innovative and impactful work underway.

So, in fall 2021, we contracted with local firm Ashton Design to create a new logo for BCF. We’re proud to unveil it here for the first time! It’s a bold departure from our previous look, with a clean, modern font and an icon akin to a speech bubble—a nod to our role as a convener and amplifier of diverse voices.

The colors are demonstrative of the values we hold dear: a deep green for the trust we strive to build with our donors and partners, turquoise and gold for the warmth and inclusivity we aim for, and a bold orange for the entrepreneurship and innovation we pursue in tackling complicated issues. We hope you’re as excited as we are about this creative direction and the opportunity to mark 50 years of impact—and beyond!

Visit our planned giving website to find additional tools and resources to help your clients. Visit our Planned Giving Website Building Stronger Neighborhoods Regionwide We have a nearly 30-year history of offering grants to resident-led groups and community projects in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.

These grants give residents the resources they need to accomplish a small project, get more people involved, and encourage the next generation of neighborhood leaders. We also fund programs that support the development of leaders of all ages who are working to improve their neighborhoods and schools. Our support is intended to help identify, activate, inform and network leaders.

And finally, we believe when schools and neighborhoods team up to improve their school and community, meaningful and lasting change can be made. We are interested in funding proposals in which the students and adults in schools collaborate intentionally with community residents, neighborhood associations, and other individuals, groups, and institutions in the area surrounding a school.

We believe that attracting and retaining effective and diverse school leaders is a key lever for change in Baltimore’s educational landscape, and so we fund school leadership development efforts at the district and individual school level. We are interested in funding proposals that focus on principal coaching, mentoring, peer networking, wellness/self-care, as well as pipelines that identify and develop new leaders.

We will also continue to support efforts that build a culture of appreciation and encouragement for school leaders.

Place-based Grantmaking in Selected School Communities We have allocated funds for two geographical areas that bookend a crucial corridor on the Westside of Baltimore City: Howard Park /Forest Park area (served by Calvin Rodwell Elementary Middle School and Liberty Elementary), and Reservoir Hill/Penn North area (served by Dorothy I Height Elementary).

In these three schools and their surrounding neighborhoods, we will support projects and activities designed to make the communities safe, clean, green and vibrant; and improve the quality of the schools. Some projects may be neighborhood-focused, some school-focused and others collaborative projects between the schools and their respective communities.

Early Learning & Judy Centers High quality early childhood education has a lifelong effect on students. Through our Early Learning grant program, we are interested in system-wide early childhood education proposals that will help Baltimore City and County’s youngest learners, and their families, get the start they need.

Nonprofit organizations that offer programs and/or services to Judy Centers are encouraged to contact the centers directly to explore partnership opportunities. Director of Planned Gifts
