Case Study: Baltimore Children & Youth Fund speeds up grantmaking and helps young people thrive with Jotform Enterprise

How the Baltimore Children & Youth Fund uses Jotform Enterprise to help young people thrive

The Baltimore Children & Youth Fund (BCYF) faced the challenge of efficiently managing its complex, publicly-funded grant processes while ensuring full transparency. Their previous use of Google Forms and manual methods created bureaucratic bottlenecks that slowed down their ability to get funds to youth organizations. They needed a more elevated, flexible, and automated software solution to handle applications, reviews, and reporting, which led them to Jotform Enterprise.

By implementing Jotform Enterprise, the BCYF team automated critical workflows for grant applications, expense reimbursements, and reporting. Jotform's solutions saved staff significant time, provided clear audit trails for accountability, and accelerated the entire funding process. This allowed BCYF to award $9 million in grants in 2024 and get resources to the community faster, ensuring more young people had access to vital programs.
