Laurie Sharp Memorial Fund
About the Organization
The Laurie Sharp Memorial Fund is a Donor Advised Fund held at the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County, established in 2019 to support and honor Laurie Sharp, a long-time leader and member of Anne Arundel Women Giving Together. This fund reflects the charitable interests of the founder and serves as a tribute to Laurie’s dedication to philanthropy.
The fund allows the advisor(s) to recommend grants to nonprofit organizations of their choosing, directing financial support to the causes they are most passionate about. It offers the flexibility to make charitable donations over time, while also allowing the fund’s assets to grow through investment. This structure enables the fund’s advisor(s) to support a wide range of philanthropic interests, maintaining a strategic and tax-efficient approach to their giving.
