Our Founders were deeply committed and involved citizens of Baltimore.  They served on numerous boards and supported many organizations.  The Foundation remains conscious of their interests, but realizes that it can not have an impact if it makes grants in too many areas. Therefore it has adopted the following guidelines and restricts its grantmaking to two primary areas:

Baltimore Communal Giving
To improve the lives of Baltimore residents by supporting efforts to improve quality public education, funding workforce development and job opportunity programs and to improve the social service infrastructure

Jewish Communal Giving
To support programs which address unmet needs of the community and to support the growth of a rich and diverse Jewish communal life and culture
