WHAT ARE THE WEAVER AWARDS?
Weave: The Social Fabric Project is an initiative of the Aspen Institute dedicated to strengthenng trust and belonging in communities across the United States.
The Weaver Awards have been happening in Baltimore for years, but starting now, Central Baltimore Partnership is serving as a host site to facilitate a new iteration of the initiative for Central Baltimore only, with clear capacity-building support.
WHY THIS INITIATIVE?
Social trust is cultivated through relationships. In times like this, we need to support those community leaders that are making connections, leading with heart, and spreading joy by leaning into each other in a hyperlocal way.
The Weaver Awards offer rare support for the community organizing that is essential to thriving, equitable, sustainable neighborhoods.
WHO’S ELIGIBLE?
✔ Apply if you live, work, serve, or connect in any of the eleven Central Baltimore Partnership neighborhoods.
✔ Projects should address a shared need in the community, be open to all, and build relationships between neighbors.
