Philosophy

Fusion is a place that offers resources and support for those who want to make their own change. We hold a space for self-determination in a spirit of community and connection; we want all residents of Baltimore to have the same access to power and decision making as is found in larger institutions and agencies.  We are committed to support grassroots leaders that are rooted in and working towards building just and caring communities.  

Fusion believes that people are able to identify and solve problems for themselves. Fusion Management Team and Partner Leaders are living examples of those who have learned much of what they do by responding to the needs on the ground and sharing support, rather than through nonprofit management certifications. Research shows that with support, the health and sustainability of our communities is more successful when community leaders decide what issues are important to them and develop a plan to solve them.
