Approved by voters in 2016, the Baltimore City Children and Youth Fund was designed to provide grants to youth organizations that have not been able to receive government support in the past. It is the brainchild of Baltimore City Council President Bernard C. “Jack” Young.

Mayor Catherine Pugh controls the five-member Board of Estimates, which must approve the deal with ABC.
