Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development (BUILD)

BUILD is an interfaith, multiracial, and non-partisan community organizing entity comprised of faith congregations, public schools, and community associations, which have worked together for more than 35 years to improve housing, increase job opportunities, and rebuild schools and neighborhoods in Baltimore. In the wake of Freddie Gray’s death and its impacts on the Sandtown-Winchester and surrounding West Baltimore communities, BUILD organizers worked with one of their member associations, the No Boundaries Coalition, to expand its grassroots community organizing in the area. This grant supported the foundational organizing work of door-to-door canvassing, identifying potential resident leaders, conducting training, and convening with public officials and government agencies.
