Founded by a group of community-minded citizens who wanted to ensure a permanent source of funds for our local charitable organizations, the Community Foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of life for all people in Anne Arundel County by:
Building and managing an endowment of charitable asset
Responding to community needs
Helping donors achieve their charitable objectives while strengthening the community
Serving as a catalyst for community problem solving, and
Fostering greater giving and new philanthropy in our community
Pedagogy of the Oppressed, a 1970s book by author Paulo Freire, envisions a world not as a given reality, but as “a problem to be worked on and solved.” That mentality is often applied to the greatest social entrepreneurs.
