The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has granted Baltimore City Schools 11.2 Million Dollars. The grant is a part of the 92 Million Dollars to a total of 19 school districts, charter schools, and nonprofits to develop networks of middle and high schools across the country, with specific projects aimed at increasing the number of black, Latino, and low-income students graduating from high school and going onto college.

The foundation supports initiatives in education, world health and population, and community giving. They want to ensure that more young people survive and thrive.
