Our Mission
The mission of the Baltimore Neighborhood Collaborative is to increase and coordinate funder investment to achieve economically diverse and revitalized neighborhoods in Baltimore City, and to build a stronger network of nonprofit community development organizations.
Since 1996, the Baltimore Neighborhood Collaborative (BNC) has invested over $7,500,000 through grantmaking and other activities to support the revitalization of Baltimore neighborhoods. BNC provides a way for local and national foundations, banks, corporate giving programs, and state and local government to work together effectively.

BNC in Action...
Living Cities announced that Baltimore is one of five cities chosen as winners in the new Integration Initiative, which supports game-changing innovations that address intractable problems affecting low-income people.
The Baltimore Integration Partnership (BIP) will receive a grant of $2,750,000 (over three years), up to $12 million in commercial debt, and up to $4 million in program-related investments to create new jobs and improve neighbor-hoods in Central and East Baltimore, while preparing residents for opportunities created by the planned East-West Red Line Transit Corridor.
Led by the Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers, BNC helped coordinate Baltimore's successful application. Visit the BIP website to learn more.
