A message to the Maryland Philanthropy Network membership from our President and CEO Danista E. Hunte.
Baltimore City depends on nonprofits to provide services, particularly in Black and low-income communities. A reliable contract with the city can allow a nonprofit to expand, serve more residents, and build the employment base of the city.

This Abell Report asks what causes the delays in the City's contracting process with nonprofits and how can those delays be fixed?
This report explores food procurement processes in state and private higher educational institutions in Baltimore and identifies a range of strategies to more fully realize local purchasing power.

Many of the recommendations are applicable not just to food but other services and commodities as well.
