Snapshots Highlight the Impact of Funders
With vision and persistence, a group of leading foundations and corporations founded the Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers (ABAG) in 1983 as a forum for colleagues to address common problems and interests. Twenty-five years later, ABAG is a high-performing organization with over 135 members comprised of foundations and corporations working together to have a greater impact in the region.
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.
Blog on philanthropy! We also know that there are many more stories to be told, and invite you to share a story about your charitable giving and its impact on our community. Telling your philanthropic story helps to reinforce the value of philanthropy and the impact of the sector!

Funders Support Advocacy for Education
The tenacity of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Maryland in fighting for more equitable funding for Baltimore schools has brought more than $1 billion into the city school system and for at-risk children across Maryland in the last decade, which wouldn’t have been possible without support from the local funding community.
