Apply For Nonprofit Recovery Grants In Baltimore County By May 24

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — A new program funded through Baltimore County’s allocation of Maryland Recovery Now funds from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development aims to support organizations that have struggled financially as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Approximately $2.3 million in recovery grants are available to nonprofit organizations.

“Our nonprofit organizations play a critical role in our county’s communities, supporting our residents in myriad ways,” Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski said. “With these grants, we support them as they recover from the pandemic so they can continue providing service and support for years to come.”

The county will partner with the Baltimore Community Foundation to administer the grant program.

The online application for the Nonprofit Recovery Grants program will open May 24 and any nonprofit organization with a physical address or service location in Baltimore County and in good standing with the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation can apply. The funds may be used to cover revenue reductions or operating expense increases, or both, that have occurred since March 1, 2020, due to the pandemic.

Grant sizes will range from $10,000 to $100,000, as follows:

• Nonprofits with annual operating budgets above $1 million may request up to $100,000.
• Nonprofits with annual operating budgets at or above $250,000 and below $1 million may request up to $75,000.
• Nonprofits with operating budgets below $250,000 may request up to $25,000.
• Minimum grant request is $10,000.
