BCF is a philanthropic foundation created by and for the people of Greater Baltimore, where many donors join together to make the region they love a better place, today and for future generations. BCF carries out its mission in two primary ways: by building a civic endowment as a permanent source of charitable support for the Baltimore region, and by helping donors plan and carry out their charitable giving. Working in partnership with others across the public, private and nonprofit sectors, BCF brings a consistent voice of leadership to critical civic issues. This grant provided funds for general operating support.
