Ideal Applicant
Established youth-development or mentoring organizations (community centers, Boys & Girls Clubs, youth sports and STEM programs) with capacity to run scalable programs or partner on Youth Development Park projects.
Good Fit
- • Direct service programs for youth (mentoring, afterschool, sports or STEM)
- • Experience operating or partnering on community park or facility projects
- • Evidence of measurable youth outcomes and organizational capacity
- • Track record as a recognized local or regional youth-serving nonprofit
Geography
Giving in the latest year covered 18 states and prior years show similar multi-state reach; the foundation is based in Maryland but funds nationally with about 35% of dollars remaining in-state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 46 distinct recipients across many independent community organizations (a large number of Boys & Girls Clubs and other local youth groups), with both returning grantees and new entrants present.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (12 new recipients in the latest year), and a website contact route is provided, but no formal application guidelines were found, so openness to unfamiliar applicants is plausible but not fully transparent.
