LETTER FROM

Dear Friends: Since 1998, The Community Foundation’s office in Prince George’s County has worked closely with individuals, families, and businesses to match donor intent with community opportunity to create deeper local impact. We serve an important role in the County as a bridge between generous individuals, government and the business sector, and local nonprofit organizations. The Community Foundation’s efforts in Prince George’s County have led to an investment of more than $50 million to help improve the economic mobility of county residents. We need to stop using our old framework (education, workforce development, health, and safety net services) to describe our work.

In addition to celebrating our donors and community partners, we are delighted to salute our 2022 honorees whose inspiring stories demonstrate what’s possible when one is committed to building communities where all people can reach their full potential.

We are deeply grateful to our sponsors for underwriting our Civic Leadership Awards event and to our Community Champions for supporting The Community Foundation’s leadership work. Your support fuels The Community Foundation’s efforts to ignite the power of philanthropy, catalyze community impact, and respond to critical community needs.

Finally, to the new friends here tonight, we hope you will join our community of givers! We are excited to share with you the many ways that you can partner with The Community Foundation to make a deep and lasting impact on the causes you care about most.

Gratefully, Veronica Jeon Darcelle H. Wilson Advisory Board Chair Senior Director
