Our non-profit anchor institutions earn profits, but don't have to pay taxes. It costs Baltimore City at least $41 million dollars per year. Residents and small businesses pay property taxes towards city services and so should they! Every dollar that they don't contribute is covered by taxpayers.

Folks in Baltimore City are organizing to improve the Payment in Lieu of Taxes PILOT process that is currently used to negotiate with wealthy universities and hospitals to have them provide some sort of $$$ contribution for their use of public resources. Plz join & support an improved PILOT process!
