Part II: Briefing on Historic Plan to Address Vacant Properties in Baltimore Neighborhoods

Join Maryland Philanthropy Network for a follow up meeting to the September 23rd Briefing on the City of Baltimore's Historic Plan to Address Vacant Properties. The meeting will begin with an update from the City including information about Reinvest Baltimore and the newly established coordinating council. This will be an interactive deep dive session where participants will further explore three key components of the initiative: People and Health, Infrastructure (neighborhood standard of care), and Financial Products. MPN members will also learn more about opportunities to stay abreast of developments with Reinvest Baltimore and how to stay connecting with each other to coordinate around the philanthropic response to the effort.

Background: In 2023, Mayor Brandon Scott, BUILD, and the Greater Baltimore Committee formed an agreement to end the crisis of vacant and abandoned properties in Baltimore City over the next 15 years. This partnership is committed to a “whole blocks” approach that will leverage an estimated $3 billion in public investment — including $300 million in private and philanthropic contributions — to bring an additional $5 billion in private investments to neighborhoods across Baltimore.

In person attendance is strongly encouraged. A virtual option will be available upon request. 

This event is for Maryland Philanthropy Network members and invited guests only.
