The Associated’s Jewish Women’s Giving Foundation (JWGF) recently announced its 2024 grants to support Baltimore’s women and girls. JWGF, now in its 21st year, is a giving circle that empowers women to be changemakers. Grants are made to organizations and programs that support women and girls.  

Here are the programs they funded this year in Baltimore. 

¡Adelante Latina!  

¡Adelante Latina! strives to prepare high-achieving 10th-12th grade Baltimore City Latina girls for college and careers. Their free-of-charge, after-school program is tailored to the cultural and academic needs of their students by providing highly personalized guidance and instruction. Our funds will provide general operating support.

Black Women Build Baltimore   

Black Women Build-Baltimore (BWBB) is a homeownership and wealth building initiative that trains Black women in trades-related skills by restoring vacant and deteriorated houses in West Baltimore as they work toward whole block outcomes. We are providing a general operating grant. BWBB’s greatest need right now is someone to do outreach and organizing. 

CHANA  

CHANA’s grant will provide funding for trauma support groups for clients, staff and community therapists in response to the collective impact of abuse, COVID-19 and the war in Israel, as well as to train a new cadre of therapists to lead these added groups. 

PIVOT  

PIVOT is a reentry and workforce development program that connects women impacted by the criminal justice system with the comprehensive services needed to reclaim their lives, rejoin their families and reinvigorate their communities. PIVOT’s nine-week reentry and workforce development program is the only program of its kind in Maryland, focusing specifically on the needs of justice-involved women.     

Building Our Nation’s Daughters (BOND)  

BOND’s mission is to engage, mentor and develop Black single mothers to cultivate positive mother-daughter relationships, strengthen Black single mother families, and increase their economic mobility two generations at a time. Our multi-year grant will support BOND’s signature program, the BOND Circle, at three schools and two housing sites. This is the third year of a three-year grant.
