BALTIMORE CITY – MD: Mayor’s Office Announces Second Round of ARPA Funds for Nonprofits Supporting Baltimore’s Most Vulnerable Communities

Scott Administration announced the second round of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant awards from the Mayor’s Office of Recovery Programs (MORP) to nonprofit organizations serving families, youth and vulnerable communities throughout the City of Baltimore.

The awards – totaling just over $6.6 million – span the Scott Administration's priority pillars outlined in the Mayor’s Action Plan, including building public safety, equitable neighborhood development, prioritizing our youth, and clean and healthy communities.

Last month, the Mayor’s Office of Recovery Programs awarded nine nonprofits with grants totaling $7.3 million. The grant funding in this latest round increases the total amount of funding awarded to nonprofit organizations through MORP to just under $14 million from the City’s $641 million ARPA allocation.

City and quasi-government agencies that have already made ARPA awards to nonprofits for either direct economic relief or specific initiatives include: the Baltimore Civic Fund, the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development, the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement, and the Baltimore City Health Department. In addition to ARPA, the City of Baltimore has provided support to nonprofits through other federal funding sources meant to respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
