East Baltimore Development Inc. is proud to launch the second round of the EBDI Community Based Small Grants Program. This program, which began in 2007, awards grants ranging from $500-$5,000 to community organizations and groups that are exerting a positive influence on East Baltimore, in concert with EBDI’s mission of positively transforming the neighborhood.

EBDI is proud to work along other community based organizations and community associations that are exerting a positive influence on East Baltimore – either through human and social services or through thoughtful, strategic planning for the future. EBDI seeks to support their work through the Community Based Small Grants Program by providing grant money that can be leveraged to aid their efforts in the community
