Community Spruce-Up

The Central Baltimore Partnership’s Community Spruce-Up Program provides grants of $7,500 - $25,000 per project to neighborhood-driven, public space, capital improvement projects in all 11 Central Baltimore Neighborhoods.

The program has been an essential resource for community-building in Central Baltimore and has funded over 90 community-led projects. Priority will be given to public space projects that promote healthy living in parks and open spaces, family friendly and early childhood development interventions, and that support social interaction among community residents of all backgrounds.

Applicants may be neighborhood associations, merchant groups, or other not-for-profit organizations located in, or serving, the neighborhoods of Abell, Barclay, Charles North, Charles Village, East Baltimore-Midway, Greenmount West, Harwood, Oakenshawe, Old Goucher, Remington, Wyman Park, and/or the Waverly Main Street.

Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis and must submit a full application (linked here), completed budget with sources and uses, and letter of support from the local community association as a part of their full application.
