DescriptionThe Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Baltimore Gas and Electric. The Foundation's Community Safety Grants are awarded for programs and projects that help to maintain the highest standards of safety and reliability for the people, the customers, and the communities in which BGE employees work. Grants are awarded in the following focus areas: Neighborhood and Community Placemaking; Safe Space Support, and Community Emergency Response and Resilience Building. Placemaking grants are awarded for investment in the revitalization of community spaces to foster a safe and vibrant atmosphere for community engagement and use such as lighting for alleys, shared public spaces, public safety events, and other placemaking strategies. Safe Space Support grants seek to promote mental and emotional well-being in the community with projects such as education or outreach to promote safe spaces, mediation, trauma informed care, youth diversion/development, home fire/carbon monoxide/natural gas detectors, safety/awareness, fire prevention, and programs that provide services to enhance physical and socio-emotional safety. Community Emergency Response and Resilience Building grants invest in initiatives that increase community disaster preparedness and safety knowledge and skills. These initiatives include prevention and mitigation of the effects of climate change; basic first aid and emergency response training; heat reduction efforts; air quality improvement; energy efficiency solutions; water safety and sustainable water management; remedying flooding and stormwater pollution issues; resiliency hub supplies; emergency response community education and outreach and other similar programs.
