Welcome! Below you will see all of our current opportunities.
What & Why
Baltimore’s historically redlined communities still experience significant disparities in critical, health-related resources like food, emergency assistance, transportation, and mental health services. The inaccessibility of these resources drives health disparities, including COVID-19 vaccination rates. The Baltimore City Health Department (BCHD) and Civic Works are awarding mini-grants of up to $25,000 to community-based organizations in Baltimore City to:
- Increase COVID-19 vaccination access and education in underserved communities.
- Expand and improve access to health-related resources.
