Background

Discover how CLLCTIVLY was started and how our story began.

In 2015, following the death of Freddie Gray, a coalition of grassroots activists and concerned citizens united to form Baltimore United for Change. In the wake of the Uprising, we created a skills bank to provide an “on-ramp” for community members eager to get involved. Over 260 individuals and organizations responded to the call.

In 2019, Jamye Wooten, co-founder of Baltimore United for Change, launched the first phase of CLLCTIVLY, unveiling an asset map that showcased over 200 Black-led organizations, categorized by their area of focus and neighborhood. Building on his earlier #MLK2Baker framework, Wooten aimed to create a decentralized network that moved #BeyondReactivism, shifted power, and laid the foundation for self-determination.

…………………………………………………………

 

We envision a liberated Black future rooted in community, self-determination, joy, love, abundance, and reciprocity.

Through reclamation of our stories, deepening of our knowledge, and strategic allocation of resources, we build regenerative ecosystems that support our collective liberation.  

 

CLLCTIVLY is a place-based social change organization located in Baltimore, Maryland. Since our launch in 2019, we have mobilized over $3,000,000 in no-strings-attached grants.

WE ARE CREATING AN ECOSYSTEM TO FOSTER COLLABORATION, INCREASE SOCIAL IMPACT AND AMPLIFY THE VOICES OF BLACK-LED ORGANIZATIONS IN GREATER BALTIMORE.
