SUMMARY:Collective Giving of Anne Arundel County Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:The Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County is proud to announce the launch of Collective Giving of Anne Arundel County (CGAACo)\, a community-led giving circle and component fund of CFAAC.

Examples include: \n\nEmergency assistance delivered through nonprofit case management or client support programs\nShort-term transportation solutions\, including help with essential car repairs or transit access\nHousing and utility stabilization support that prevents disruption and displacement\nChildcare and family stability support that helps caregivers maintain work and school routines\nOther practical needs addressed through nonprofit services that protect safety\, dignity\, and opportunity\n\nPlease consider attending CGAACo’s virtual launch event for more information: \nDate: April 22\, 2026\nTime: 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.\nLocation: Virtual Lunch & Learn \nRSVP HERE\nYou can also email info@cgaaco.org. \nAdditional event details will be shared as they are confirmed. \nFor more information\, including membership options and funding models\, please visit www.CGAACo.org. \nRead the Full Press Release Here
