2023 Community Education Series
In 2023, the Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County hosted a series of Education Series workshops and
events designed to Educate, Collaborate, and Connect the community. These sessions aimed to address the diverse
needs of the community and strengthen the capacity of local nonprofits. They included community-focused
discussions, nonprofit development, and leadership training, providing valuable insights and resources to tackle
social, health, legal, and operational challenges.
Many of these programs were informed by the findings in CFAAC’s comprehensive community needs assessment
report, Poverty Amongst Plenty VII: Moving Forward Together. This report highlighted persistent local trends and
systemic gaps that the workshops aimed to address. These efforts underscore CFAAC's commitment to fostering
collaboration, addressing systemic issues, and building resilient and effective organizations.
