Baltimore's Children and Youth Fund awards $200,000 to nonprofit led by board member, raising conflict of interest questions.

Baltimore's Children and Youth Fund (BCYF) has awarded over $200,000 in grants to Let's Thrive Baltimore, a nonprofit run by BCYF board member Lisa Molock. Molock, who joined the BCYF board in early 2022, is the executive director of Let's Thrive Baltimore. Despite a BCYF spokesperson claiming the process is transparent and Molock recuses herself in relevant meetings, a former official questions the grants as a potential conflict of interest.
