The mission of Family League of Baltimore is to serve as an architect of change in Baltimore by promoting data-driven, collaborative initiatives and aligning resources to create lasting outcomes for children, families, and communities. Family League occupies a unique role in the city, serving as the Baltimore City Local Management Board, through which it acts as a third-party convener and fund distributor for a wide range of partners and leverages public and private dollars to fund effective social change. This grant provided funds for a community needs assessment to inform upcoming strategic planning work.
