Case Study: Baltimore City Public Schools improves grant fund management with Allovue

Supporting Grants Managers with Financial Access and Training Increases Competency

Baltimore City Public Schools faced the challenge of ensuring its Judy Center early childhood programs fully utilized their complex grant funds. Many of the centers' coordinators had minimal budget management experience, and unspent funds risked future grant allocations for the entire program. Allovue was engaged to help address this critical issue.

Allovue implemented a tailored solution that included its Savvy Survey, listening sessions, and core financial training for the coordinators. The customized training provided a foundation in financial terms and strategies, resulting in 80% of participants rating it as effective or very effective. The program successfully mitigated the risk of lost future grant funding for the school district.
