Our Mission
The mission of the Baltimore Neighborhood Collaborative (BNC) is to increase and coordinate funder investment to achieve economically diverse and revitalized neighborhoods in Baltimore City.
Since 1996, BNC has invested over $8,000,000 through grantmaking and other activities to support the revitalization of Baltimore neighborhoods and to build a stronger network of nonprofit community development organizations.

BNC in Action...
Since 1996, BNC has created a forum where over time 43 local and national funders, banks, corporate giving programs and public sector agencies have come together for joint learning and action. We have awarded funds to 40 community-based nonprofits engaged in neighborhood revitalization, foreclosure prevention, housing, and transit-centered community development.
In 2012, BNC awarded $470,000 in grants and capacity assistance, and provided national training and conference scholarships to 22 community development practitioners and grassroots leaders.
