About Associated Jewish Charities of Baltimore
Associated Jewish Charities of Baltimore’s recent grantmaking is anchored by a large recurring support relationship with The Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, which received $12,992,113 in 2023 and $12,668,066 in 2024 for general support. That pattern signals a funder that moves significant unrestricted resources through core Jewish communal infrastructure while also supporting a wider network of Baltimore-based institutions. Its portfolio includes community and social welfare work, Jewish life and education, and neighborhood revitalization, alongside grants tied to older adult services, mental health and trauma, and Israel and overseas partnerships. The foundation’s recent grants also show support for local anchor organizations such as Nova Institute for Health, Chizuk Amuno Congregation, Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, and Johns Hopkins University. Many awards are labeled general support, which points to flexible funding rather than tightly restricted project-only giving. The organization describes its purpose as strengthening and supporting the Jewish community of Baltimore and its partners by mobilizing resources, addressing critical needs, supporting Jewish life and learning, countering antisemitism, and connecting Baltimore to Israel and global partners.
