Through BTU: Partnerships at Work for Greater Baltimore, Towson University continues to build a framework to capture and support the work taking place between TU and the community. Beginning in fiscal year 2019 (July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019), TU faculty, staff and students will have access to a number of funding resources aimed to align, scale, sustain, and institutionalize community engagement partnerships and collaborations.
- BTU Investments: Application based support for both established and emerging community based engagement.
- BTU Priority Investments: Funds allocated as investments over a 1–3 year period, focusing on scaling, sustaining, aligning, and institutionalizing leading TU community engagement partnerships and projects.
- BTU Emerging Idea Investments, supported by Whiting-Turner: Funds allocated for a one-year period, focused on supporting new and emerging TU community partnerships and projects, connected to underserved populations.
- BTU Support Requests: Ongoing funding dedicated to needs such as transportation and supplies associated with community engagement projects and partnerships.
