Celebrating 40 Years of Positive News

The Baltimore Times 40th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign

Since 1985, The Baltimore Times has been Baltimore’s original source for positive news.

For four decades, we have published a weekly newspaper dedicated to telling stories that uplift, inform, and empower our community. Guided by our motto — “positive stories about positive people” — we spotlight the individuals, community organizations, and corporations who are making meaningful contributions to Baltimore’s well-being.

At a time when much of the media focuses on what is broken, The Baltimore Times has remained committed to what is possible.

We are more than a newspaper. We are a trusted community partner.

Over the years, The Baltimore Times has supported and amplified initiatives across health, business, finance, and real estate, while also sharing critical information about city, state, and federal policies that directly impact our community. Our work has helped connect residents to resources, elevate Black-owned businesses, and ensure Baltimore’s stories are told with accuracy, dignity, and purpose.

Why We’re Fundraising

As we celebrate our 40th birthday, we are also looking ahead.

Your donation will help The Baltimore Times:

Sustain free weekly newspapers, ensuring access to information regardless of income
Invest in technology upgrades that allow us to modernize our storytelling and reach new audiences
Hire and support dedicated writers who can cover stories larger media outlets often overlook
Continue innovating, building on our legacy as creators of impactful community initiatives — including Baltimore’s first Health Fair and Baltimore’s first Healthy Dining Awareness Week

Independent, community-based journalism requires resources. Your support helps ensure that Baltimore continues to have a media institution rooted in truth, pride, and possibility.

Invest in the Next 40 Years

The Baltimore Times has spent 40 years telling Baltimore’s story through a positive lens — one that reflects the strength, creativity, and resilience of our people.

With your support, we can continue to do so for generations to come.

Donate today. Celebrate the legacy. Help shape the future of positive news in Baltimore.
