A message to the Maryland Philanthropy Network membership from our President and CEO Danista E. Hunte.
The Abell Foundation has long focused its efforts on alleviating poverty and in recent years has more consciously framed its work in terms of addressing the effects of Baltimore’s historic segregation, disinvestment, and persistent racial discrimination. Like many, it has been prompted by the anniversary of Gray’s death to assess what has changed in the last 10 years.
This new report highlights ongoing initiatives to create jobs through economic inclusion in Baltimore. Through interviews, it documents best practices and finds that the strategies create benefits for individuals, businesses and institutions. The report calls for broader participation by businesses and institutions as well as people-focused investments and policies.
