FUND FOR ANNE ARUNDEL
HELP OUR NEIGHBORS FUND
The Fund for Anne Arundel (FFAA) was
created to strategically align CFAAC's
grantmaking with the findings of its 2018
Community Needs Assessment Report:
Poverty Amidst Plenty VI. This fund supports
nonprofits doing vital work to address the
most pressing needs of Anne Arundel County
residents now and in the future. In 2021, the
Fund for Anne Arundel focused on grants to
programs that prioritize the health of
children and families, including access to
physical, mental, and behavioral health
programs. Read more about the FFAA on
pages 22-25.
The Help Our Neighbors Fund provides
grants to local nonprofits that assist
individuals and families in need by providing
emergency assistance, such as covering
immediate living expenses like paying rent
to prevent eviction, utilities to prevent shutoff, fees for transportation to work or car
repair, or for essential medication and
medical care to return to or maintain their
health.
GRANT 4 TEACHERS FUND
Grants 4 Teachers supports highly creative
ideas that would otherwise be impossible due
to school system funding constraints. Grants
support teachers' imaginative ideas to
stimulate and inspire Anne Arundel County
Public School students’ learning such as
allowing teachers to help students find and
follow a passion. .
WOMEN AND GIRLS FUND
Grants from the Women and Girls Fund are
used to support nonprofits that help women
and girls pursue positive, productive lives by
helping remove barriers for women and girls,
increase their economic security, enhance
their well-being and safety, and empower
them to make positive life decisions for
themselves and their families.
