Celebrate Baltimore’s Quiet Champions

Unsung Heroes is our annual community celebration honoring individuals and organizations who quietly make a difference in Baltimore. These heroes devote time, energy, and heart to the well-being of their neighbors—often without seeking recognition.

We invite nominations from across the city to spotlight compassion, commitment, and impact—and to inspire more people to help build a stronger, more connected Baltimore.

What’s New This Year

Alongside our community-nominated honorees, we’ll present 10K Honor Awards to elders ages 80–100 whose lifetime contributions have uplifted Baltimore.

Important: You can nominate any deserving person or organization—of any age.
The 10K Honor Award is a special category for elders; it does not limit who can be nominated.

Grassroots organizers, faith/community partners, mutual aid leaders
Local nonprofits, small businesses, or coalitions serving Baltimore residents

We especially welcome nominations that reflect:

Impact (measurable change or consistent service)
Compassion (care for neighbors)
Commitment (sustained effort over time)
