We work to develop, implement and align resources, programs and policies that support the behavioral health and wellness of individuals, families and communities.
Behavorial Health Systems Baltimore’s recent grantmaking is organized around Baltimore City behavioral health services, with multiple active programs for recovery housing, psychiatric consultation, school-based substance use services, early childhood mental health, crisis line support, and community partnerships. The foundation describes its work as aligning resources, programs, and policies that support the behavioral health and wellness of individuals, families, and communities. Its grantmaking reflects that systems orientation: competitive funding opportunities are structured to support providers and service networks rather than individual recipients. The largest recent grant listed is $40,252,480 in 2025 to See Attached, followed by $39,619,856 in 2024 to See Attached and $31,965,026 in 2023 to See Attached. That pattern points to grantmaking at a scale far above typical local program awards. The active portfolio also shows a strong emphasis on recovery housing, including a program for pregnant women and women with children and another for young adults. Other named initiatives include the Baltimore City 988 Public Education Campaign, the Substance Use Urgent Care Center, and the Early Childhood Mental Health Head Start Initiative.
Recovery housing is one of the clearest program areas. Behavorial Health Systems Baltimore operates a Recovery Housing for Pregnant Women & Women with Children RFP in Baltimore City, and it also has a Young Adult Recovery Housing Program for the same geography. Both point to housing as part of substance use recovery rather than a separate service. The foundation also funds crisis and outreach infrastructure. A Baltimore City 988 Public Education Campaign supports promotion of the 988 helpline, while the Substance Use Urgent Care Center program is aimed at establishing or operating an urgent care center for substance use in Baltimore City. For children and families, the portfolio includes the Making All the Children Healthy (MATCH) Psychiatric Consultation initiative and the Early Childhood Mental Health Head Start Initiative. A School-Based Substance Use Services program adds prevention and treatment support in school settings.
The grant-size data show a very narrow distribution at a high level: the 25th percentile is $35,792,441, the median is $39,619,856, and the 75th percentile is $39,936,168. That indicates most grants cluster close to forty million dollars rather than spreading across many smaller awards. The 2023, 2024, and 2025 top grants also suggest recurring annual grantmaking at roughly the same scale. The organization is a foundation-style funder with annual grants given of $111,837,362 and total assets of $31,555,306. It funds organizations, not individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Several active opportunities are competitive RFPs, and some accept unsolicited proposals while others do not.
