Maryland: The Abell Foundation

Abell Foundation Grants for Baltimore Children and Families

Have an idea that could improve early learning in Baltimore? The Abell Foundation funds eligible nonprofits working to improve educational, health, economic, and community outcomes in the city.

What might funding support?

An early childhood project may fit if it addresses a documented Baltimore need and aligns with the foundation's priorities. Depending on the proposal, support may go toward a pilot, an established community program, or a capital project. This is organizational grant funding, not an individual course scholarship.

Who can apply and how?

The foundation works with nonprofit community partners serving Baltimore. Small and larger grant requests have different processes, and first-time applicants have additional steps. Review the appropriate guidelines before submitting your proposal.
