“We had so many outstanding applications to support the human service needs of our communities, and I am thrilled that the County and our ACDS team can provide valuable operating resources to support that work,” said Erin Karpewicz, ACDS CEO.
An interagency team of County health and human service leaders reviewed 125 applications. The grant review team prioritized proposals that included support for one or more of the administration’s priorities:
- Providing services to underserved populations
- Addressing the health and well-being of communities
- Promoting equity and inclusion
- Eliminating the opportunity gap in education
The competitive grants typically range from $10,000 to $50,000. Funding for this year’s community grant program was included in the FY25 Budget, which was approved by the Anne Arundel County Council in June.
County Executive Pittman and ACDS presented representatives with a ceremonial check during an event held today at the Wiley H. Bates Legacy Center.
