Your contribution to Second Chance, Inc. is more than a donation; it’s a step toward creating opportunities, promoting sustainability, and preserving Baltimore’s rich architectural heritage. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Second Chance relies on the support of individuals like you to fund programs that give people, materials, and our environment a fresh start. Each gift—whether large or small—helps us provide job training, divert reusable materials from landfills, and transform lives.

Why Donate?

Every donation you make to Second Chance supports our triple-bottom-line mission to build a sustainable future. Here’s how your contribution makes a difference:

Workforce Development

Donations fund our mission to prepare individuals facing employment obstacles for sustainable careers. Through hands-on experience in deconstruction, salvage, warehousing, and retail, trainees gain practical skills and job readiness, setting them on a path to financial independence.

Environmental Impact

Supporting Second Chance means directly reducing landfill waste. Each year, we deconstruct buildings and salvage valuable materials, giving them new life and lessening the environmental burden. Your donation helps us continue these efforts, protecting our community’s resources for future generations.

Community Enrichment

Contributions to Second Chance benefit more than just the environment; they strengthen the Baltimore community. With every job created, material salvaged, and heritage preserved, we build a stronger, more resilient city.

Your donation enables us to expand these programs and continue our mission of providing “second chances” to people, materials, and communities.
