Clean and Green Baseline Survey

As part of the Mayor’s Cleaner Greener Initiative, Baltimore Community Foundation and the Mayor’s Office developed a baseline survey to capture current cleaning and greening efforts by community organizations and nonprofit groups throughout the city.  Nearly 200 of Baltimore’s community leaders completed the survey, which received an 85% return rate, illustrating the significant enthusiasm and optimism that Baltimore can be Cleaner and Greener.
