Join us for our Preservation Celebration 2023 at Open Works. On October 19, we’ll honor our 2023 Preservation Award winners and, with your help, give out six micro-grants to people working on the front lines in our historic neighborhoods. We’ll say thank you to our volunteers and honor all of their hard work this year. This gathering also acts as Baltimore Heritage’s annual meeting where we elect new board members. With food and drinks from Baltimore vendors, we hope you will join us for what promises to be a wonderful evening. There is a suggested donation of $25.
We’re in our 8th year of giving away micro-grants to help fund preservation work in the city. We received some amazing applications over the past month. We picked the most promising ideas and they will have a chance to win one of three $1000 grants and three $500 grants. Each finalist will get three minutes to pitch their idea and at the end, all of us present will cast ballots to decide which ideas receive the micro-grants. Everyone will receive the funds that evening.
2023 Microgrant Finalists:
Maryland Women’s Heritage Center
Friends of Herring Run Park
Govans Presbyterian Church
Racial Justice Ministry
St. Luke’s Youth Center
