FTLA is proud to help orchestrate a brighter future for Baltimore City children through a contribution this month to OrchKids, a unique education and outreach initiative of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
OrchKids uses music as a vehicle to provide the children of low-income neighborhoods in Baltimore City with mentoring, encouragement and a vision for a promising future. Thanks to the support of community partners, OrchKids is able to provide a during- and after-school program devoted to music appreciation, academics, citizenship, community awareness, family and health. OrchKids is committed to changing the lives of Baltimore’s children in significant and unique ways.
FTLA hopes to give more children the opportunity to experience making music by selecting OrchKids as the August cause in its 10 Years, 10 Causes initiative celebrating the firm’s tenth anniversary.

The excitement levels at FTLA climbed almost as high as the mercury on July thermometers around Baltimore after we had a chance to see a first-hand presentation from Baltimore Green Map, this month’s featured non-profit in FTLA’s 10 Years, 10 Causes campaign.
Baltimore Green Map uses the international Green Map® System Icons to map Baltimore’s ecological and cultural resources in an effort to connect Baltimore area residents with “eco-opportunities” in and around the region as well as to track the city’s progress toward becoming a healthy, sustainable urban environment.
This July, FTLA is pleased to support Baltimore Green Map through a monetary contribution that will be used to fund website improvements for the organization.
Visit Baltimore Green Map online to check out green sites around Baltimore (including the FTLA-designed Community Mediation Garden and Baltimore Convention Center’s green roof). You can also nominate a site or resource for the map and find out how else you can help this worthwhile organization map the way to a greener tomorrow.
