Propelled by the belief that thriving, connected families are key to vibrant communities, the Downtown Baltimore Family Alliance (DBFA) fosters and promotes family life in Baltimore’s city center. As an independent, nonprofit alliance, we partner with local government, business, and nonprofit organizations to develop family-wise programs and policies, including initiatives for strong public schools and early childhood programs, enhanced public safety and environmental quality, and expanded recreational and cultural opportunities. We further endeavor to cultivate community by connecting families with one another and with the resources to take full advantage of life in downtown Baltimore.
DBFA’s goals and initiatives fall into three major categories:
We work on intiatives to improve public education, green space, public safety, retail, and other areas that make downtown Baltimore a great place to raise families.
We serve as a source of education, information, and social connection and support for families living downtown, as well as a source of information about downtown family events for visitors from outside the city center.
We advance community development by promoting downtown Baltimore to current and prospective residents as a good place to raise families.
