Community Investment Program (B&P)
We are pleased to announce our first cohort of Community Investment Program (CIP) grantees. Read the official press release for more details. Sign up for updates on next year’s cycle here.
Program Overview
Amtrak has committed to an overall CIP budget of $50 million which will be invested incrementally over the duration of the Program. Investments will be made through community grants and direct investments, with projects covering six categories:
- Community Development
- Workforce Development
- Parks and Recreation
- Open Space
- Transportation
- Historic Preservation
Amtrak will annually issue a formal Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) which will allow eligible organizations to apply for community grant and direct investment awards for projects in West Baltimore that meet the eligibility requirements. Amtrak will also host applicant information sessions after the application window opens.
Congratulations to our 2026 CIP Grantees!
