Each year brings new opportunities for the Baltimore Community Foundation (BCF) to grow its presence and increase its positive impact in Baltimore City and Baltimore County.

The Maryland Environmental Health Network was a project of Maryland Philanthropy Network for ## years with the goal of promoting the elimination of exposures to environmental threats to improve human health.
