Community Spruce-Up

The Central Baltimore Partnership’s Community Spruce-Up Program provides grants of $10,000 - $25,000 per project to neighborhood-driven, public space, capital improvement projects in all 11 Central Baltimore Neighborhoods.

The program has been an essential resource for community-building in Central Baltimore and has funded over 70 community-led projects. Priority will be given to public space projects that promote healthy living in parks and open spaces, technology installments to address challenges of the digital divide, and to support social interaction among community residents of all backgrounds.

Applicants must submit a letter of intent and estimated budget with a Letter of Interest (LOI) by the LOI deadline; and if asked to proceed following their LOI submission, they must submit a full application, completed budget, and letter of support from the local community association as a part of their full application.
