Governor Moore Announces $1.5 Million in Philanthropic Awards to ENOUGH Communities to Support Education and Child Care Programs

Governor Wes Moore today announced the distribution of $1.5 million in philanthropic funding awards to strengthen education and child care access in nine ENOUGH communities – Maryland jurisdictions with high concentrations of childhood poverty.

Funding comes from the ENOUGH Community Support Fund—a private fund designed to provide direct philanthropic support to Maryland’s ENOUGH awardees. The organizations supporting the announced awards included two members of Maryland Philanthropy Network (MPN): The Sherman Family Foundation and The Bainum Family Foundation. Other supporters included The David and Lucile Packard Foundation and The Rockefeller Foundation. By contributing to the ENOUGH Community Support Fund, these organizations are members of the ENOUGH Alliance – an independent coalition of philanthropic and private sector organizations supporting the Moore-Miller administration’s broader whole-of-government work to fight child poverty.
