Annie E. Casey Foundation, Direct Services Grant Program

The Annie E. Casey Foundation's Baltimore Direct Services Grants Program annually funds a wide range of not-for-profit community-based or community-serving organizations that work directly with disadvantaged children, youth, and families, primarily in Baltimore City. Since the program began in 1995, Casey has made between 20 to 30 new awards ranging from $2,000 to $20,000 each year. Grants may be used to start or enhance direct services or programs such as health care, education, job training, counseling, violence prevention, recreation, cultural arts, and child care.
