What is the Summer Funding Collaborative?

Picture
The Baltimore Summer Funding Collaborative (SFC or the Collaborative) is a partnership between public, private and nonprofit organizations that supports high-quality summer programs serving children and youth from low-income backgrounds in Baltimore City. While each member of of the Collaborative has particular priorities, they all share the same goal: To fund different types of summer programs to keep students engaged and reduce summer learning loss so that more youth can reach their full potential.

Summer Makes a Difference

  • On average, a student loses one month of academic progress during the summer - this is known as summer learning loss.
  • Students who rely on school lunches lose access to those meals during the summer.
  • Students who fall behind over the summer are less likely to graduate from high school or go on to college.

​High quality summer programs help students connect to learning and recreational opportunities, job training, and resources such as healthy meals at no cost. Through high-quality summer programming, we can make sure that all Baltimore youth have what they need to succeed all year long.
