Funders Help Boys & Girls Clubs Flourish
Kenyatta Rowel is uniquely qualified for his job as teen services director at the Boys & Girls Club at Wiley H. Bates Heritage Park in Annapolis, the newest of five Clubs that are part of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County (BGCAA). The sparkling 26,000 square foot facility, which opened in 2007, was made possible through the collaboration of a dedicated group of funders.
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 Partner to Provide Critical Recovery Supports
Imagine a place where recovering substance-abusers can go late at night or on weekends to attend a 12-step meeting, receive holistic treatments such as acupuncture, or to find a sympathetic shoulder to lean on. Multiply that times three, and you have Threshold to Recovery, a network of three community centers - Dee's Place, Recovery in Community, and Penn North - that help Baltimore City residents with current or past drug addiction stay on a healthy path to recovery.

Funders Fight for People With Disabilities
Last year, the Baltimore Sun ran an editorial urging the state to provide "multi-systemic therapy" - an intensive, relatively short-term set of home-based counseling services and family and school interventions that help keep young people with mental health issues from entering or returning to the juvenile system. Where did the Sun draw its inspiration? From a report published by the Maryland Disability Law Center (MDLC) supported by local funders.

Funders' Efforts Improve Life for Seniors
For the elderly, living alone can be isolating and dangerous. But thanks to local funders, hundreds of Baltimore area elderly residents are getting free and low cost transportation, health education and screening, social services, and social, cultural, and recreational activities in the comfort of their own homes and neighborhoods. The program, Senior Friendly Neighborhoods, serves some 900 seniors per month, many of whom are low-income.
