We are excited to share our progress and report on our activity during the final quarter of Fiscal Year 2024 (April – June 2024).
Continuing with another strong quarter, SBGP is proud and grateful for the ability to consistently continue to serve the community. While upholding core values and high standards of practices, SBGP has worked closely with neighborhood leaders, City agencies, and other partners to channel funds into important and necessary community programs and projects within the District.
This quarter, SBGP:
- Announced funding for the Winter 2024 Community Grants awards and prepared for the Summer 2024 application cycle.
- Celebrated $67 million in combined funding for the Middle Branch Resiliency Initiative (MBRI), as part of Reimagine Middle Branch, with a major press event launching the Hanover Street Wetlands, the first living shoreline section to commence construction.
- Contracted for services to clean and repair the building at the Cherry Hill Splash Park Pool in time for its summer opening and continued supporting landscaping maintenance and other improvements to main streets in the District working closely with Federal Hill Main Street and Pigtown Main Street.
- Approved its first Community Development Fund grant of $500,000 to Pigtown Main Street for developing a new branch of the Pratt Library, offices for Pigtown Main Street, a community meeting space, and apartments above the Library at 856 Washington Boulevard, the present site of the Pratt Library branch.
- Began planning and outreach for its next Board application cycle. The application for one Board member to begin serving effective January 1, 2025, closes in the next quarter on August 16, 2024.
- Continued planning for new staff positions and promoted several existing staff members to help increase and diversify SBGP’s funding so the organization can continue to grow and evolve its capacity and vision.
