CLLCTIVLY

In 2015 after the death of Freddie Gray, a coalition of grassroots activists and concerned citizens came together to form Baltimore United for Change. In the days following the Uprising we launched a skills bank to create an “on ramp” for concern community members that wanted to serve. Over 260 individuals and organizations answered the call.

Community organizations often work in silos, these silos lead to fragmentation, fragmentation leads to duplication, and duplication leads to wasted resources – time, talent and treasure. 

CLLCTILVLY launched in January 2019 with mission to end the fragmentation and duplication of programs, to learn from and about each other, and to be a resource for the Greater Baltimore community that seeks to find, fund and partner with Black social change organizations.

Since our launch in January 100+ organizations on our asset map/directory,  80,000+ site visits, 6 organizations funded, 82 grant submissions, 17,000 votes cast, and over $11,000 awarded to grassroots organizations. We also offer no-strings-attached Black Futures Micro-Grant of $1,000.
