Fall of 2010, when we first announced Baltimore as one of five sites selected to remake America's great urban places and reconnect residents to economic opportunity, I declared that there was no more important work that we could undertake.
Local purchasing strategies to support area businesses can generate much needed jobs for Baltimore.

Join Maryland Philanthropy Network for a conversation with Shamiah Kerney, Chief Recovery Officer for the Mayor’s Office of Recovery Programs. Ms. Kerney will share updates on successes to date, the anticipated transition away from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, and the timeline for potential alignment between city government and philanthropy to continue resources for communities. This will be an opportunity to learn about the tools and resources available to help you stay abreast of ARPA Impact Indicators, recovery reports and resources, and the recovery data dashboard that pulls all the pieces together.
