“The foundation has invested in expanding the reach of the Chicago Parent Program and, in doing so, supporting a great many Baltimore families with young children. We are grateful for their vision and generosity, as are our families and community partners.”

“Baltimore is a blatant example of a tale of two cities. The Richman Foundation is trying to address the stark inequities in the City in order to even the playing field for families from low-income and minoritized backgrounds. I am most appreciative of the Foundation’s emphasis on early childhood interventions which have the potential to have long-term impacts on Baltimore’s children and families. Because of these and other priorities of the Foundation, I am pleased to be serving on its Advisory Committee.”

“The Richman Foundation’s investment has been a game-changer for the Incentive Awards Program. Their gift has enabled us to expand our reach within Baltimore City and help secure the future of the program. It signifies an abiding belief in the capacity of Baltimore City students to achieve and it will encourage our scholars to know that there are people from their hometown who are rooting for their success.”
