Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation
Geographic scope: Company communities in the ten states served by Food Lion
The Food Lion Feeds Charitable Foundation provides support to organizations based in or providing support in the ten states in which Food Lion operates, including locations within a 20-mile radius of a Food Lion store in Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. Grants support children at risk of hunger by providing funds to feeding agencies to increase their "fresh" capacity so families can put nutritious meals on their tables. Foundation grants can only be used for the purchase of food in support of an organization's hunger-relief effort.
Gladys Brooks Foundation
The Gladys Brooks Foundation provides support in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. The focus is on nonprofit libraries, educational institutions, and hospitals and clinics. Grants, generally between $50,000 and $150,000, may be used for endowments, capital projects, or capital equipment. The first step in the application process is to fill out an online request form. This form will provide information on developing a grant proposal letter, which must be submitted within two weeks from the date of the request form. (The final deadline for online grant proposal letters is May 31, 2023.)
Baltimore Children and Youth Grassroots Fund
The Grassroots Fund addresses traditional gaps in Baltimore’s funding landscape by providing funding for grassroots, Baltimore-based, youth-serving organizations to support its overall mission. BCYF is awarding $150,000 three-year grants to up to 30 eligible community-accountable organizations. Operating on a multi-year grant cycle allows BCYF to invest in building the capacity of its grantees, which positions organizations for success beyond BCYF funding. In addition to financial support, organizations awarded a Grassroots Fund grant will receive technical assistance and capacity-building support to help them sustain and grow.
Grassroots organizations that meet the following criteria are eligible to apply to this fund:
Baltimore City-based and serves children and youth ages 24 years and under;
Maryland 501(c)(3) organization or has a confirmed fiscal sponsor; and
An annual operating budget of $350,000 or less.
51% or more employees are Baltimore-City residents.
In existence for at least one year.
At least one year of experience running youth programs.
