Baltimore Foundation Launches $250K Legacy Grants for US 250th Anniversary

Baltimore Community Foundation launches $250K Legacy Forward Grants for nonprofits celebrating US 250th anniversary. Applications open Nov 1-Dec 20, 2025 for Baltimore organizations.

This initiative matters because it provides crucial funding for community organizations to preserve Baltimore's unique cultural heritage while building bridges across diverse neighborhoods. As cities nationwide prepare for America's 250th anniversary, these grants ensure local stories and traditions are celebrated meaningfully rather than through generic commemorations. For Baltimore residents, this means seeing their community's specific history honored and their voices included in shaping how the city marks this national milestone. The timing is particularly significant given Baltimore's complex historical narrative and ongoing efforts toward community healing and unity. By supporting projects that both reflect on the past and look toward the future, these grants can help strengthen civic engagement and neighborhood pride during a period of national reflection.
