Strong City Baltimore organizes its work in alignment with three main goals: (1) building stronger neighborhoods, (2) developing quality schools, and (3) increasing collective impact through partnerships. To build stronger neighborhoods, Strong City promotes new investment in targeted areas to improve the image, physical condition, and aesthetic appeal of neighborhoods. To develop quality schools, Strong City uses the community school model, and long standing partnerships with higher education. During fiscal year 2016, Strong City also provided back office services to nearly 100 projects through its Nonprofit Business Services Program. This two-year grant provided core operating support.
