Funders Invest Together in Columbia
Forty years ago when visionary urban planner, real estate developer and philanthropist James W. Rouse built the planned community of Columbia, he intentionally set out to create a small-town atmosphere through the development of ten self-contained villages around which day-to-day life would revolve. Decades later, Rouse's vision of community spirit has clearly taken hold. Several years ago, community leaders sprung into action when they learned that the state might declare the Oakland Mills Village Center in Columbia a "hot spot" due to a surge in crime.
Snapshots of Philanthropy offer a glimpse into the many ways funders are making a difference in our community. These snapshots are a series of 25 profiles created to celebrate the work of local grantmakers in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers (ABAG) and they are representative of the many ways that funders have had an impact in the community the last 25 years.
