Galen’s Gift
About the Organization
Galen's Gift is a Donor Advised Fund held at the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County, established in 2021 in memory of Gregory "Galen" Meehan. The fund is dedicated to providing support to organizations and programs that offer essential human services related to poverty, homelessness, addiction, and legal aid.
It allows the advisors to recommend grants to nonprofit organizations of their choosing, directing financial support to the causes they are most passionate about. The fund provides the flexibility to make charitable donations over time while allowing its assets to grow through investment. This approach enables the fund's advisors to support a broad range of philanthropic interests while maintaining a strategic, tax-efficient approach to their giving.
