The Abell Foundation
Abell Foundation Grants — Regular and Small
About this grant
Supports organizations building a stronger Baltimore where all residents can thrive. Two tracks share one process: the Small Grant for requests of $10,000 or less, and the Regular Grant for requests greater than $10,000. Notably, neither application has word or character limits, and applicants may submit a Word or PDF attachment instead of completing the individual questions inline.
