The B'more Fund, launched in June 2002, is a Giving Circle that will support and celebrate the work of social entrepreneurs in the region. Currently, the Fund has over 40 members. Modeled partially on the MacArthur Fellowship Awards, the Fund will make awards to individuals nominated through an anonymous process, whose work makes Baltimore an even greater place to live, work and play. Membership requires an annual contribution of $500.
