Thornton Family Fund
About the Organization
The Thornton Family Fund is a Donor Advised Fund held at the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County, established in 2011 to support the philanthropic interests of its advisor(s), with a focus on aiding disadvantaged youth.
This fund enables the advisors to recommend grants to nonprofit organizations of their choice, providing financial support to causes they care deeply about. It offers the flexibility to make charitable donations over time while also allowing the fund’s assets to grow through investment. This approach empowers the fund’s advisors to support a wide range of philanthropic priorities in a thoughtful and tax-efficient manner.
