Apply for community grants

Heads up for nonprofits: Downtown digital services firm Fearless has applications open through Nov. 22 for its community grant program.

 

It's the fifth edition of the program, which offers support from Fearless employees alongside funding. The criteria is as follows, per Fearless: 

  • Nominees must be nonprofit organizations and serve Baltimore City residents directly
  • Requests must be for program or initiative support
  • Nominees can do work in any space, but preference will be given to organizations supporting youth, especially initiatives related to STEM and education
  • Preference will be given to organizations serving historically underserved and/or underrepresented groups, specifically racial minority groups
  • Organizations must be able to participate in a brief “interview” with Fearless so that we can get to know the people behind the organization and their why!
