Tracking Funding Flows in Baltimore City Neighborhoods

T. Rowe Price Foundation is the largest corporate philanthropic organization in Baltimore. Since its launch in 1981, the T. Rowe Price Foundation has given more than $125 million to nonprofit organizations focused on enhancing community life. Following the death of Freddie Gray in April 2015, local organizations and government agencies have made significant community investment, but there is ongoing debate about where the resources are going and if they are serving the communities in need. T. Rowe Price Foundation enlisted a Capstone team to assess the structural challenges in Baltimore through the flow of public and philanthropic dollars and track investments to ensure funds reach their intended recipients. The team’s analysis focused on youth engagement, public safety, and workforce development in the Sandtown-Winchester and Park Heights neighborhoods. Based on data analysis and case studies, the team’s recommendations will help T. Rowe Price Foundation conduct thoughtful and informed conversations surrounding funding in the community.
