From the President and CEO

Severe economic pressures caused repercussions for the county’s nonprofit sector in 2008.  Many nonprofit organizations providing health and human services were impacted by cutbacks from funders — coupled with delayed payments and a tightening credit market that limited access to credit.  The economic downturn was accompanied by increasing demand for services.

As a funder, the Foundation worked with our grantees through this difficult period.  Through its responsive, capacity and proactive programs, the we continued to pursue our mission of improving the health and wellness of the Howard County population.

As a cost saving measure, we are providing this annual report in digital form only via our website.  We encourage you to read the grants section of this report for a description of our grants as well as the Foundation’s financials for 2008.
