Angels has a new partner!
Angels of the OR, Inc. is proud to announce that we are now a part of The Baltimore
Community Foundation. The Baltimore Community Foundation raises, manages, and
distributes funds for charitable purposes in the Baltimore region. BCF helps all kinds of
people and organizations carry out their individual charitable plans, with the common goal of
improving the quality of life in the greater Baltimore region, today and for generations to come.
Founded in 1972, the Baltimore Community Foundation is governed by a 32-member board
of trustees, made up of a cross section of Baltimore. In 2008, BCF distributed $28 million to
hundreds of nonprofit organizations in the Baltimore region and beyond. With assets of $143
million, BCF comprises more than 600 different charitable funds.
We are excited to be in this partnership with BCF, and hope that you will share our enthusiasm
as we embark on an even greater path to serving patients who need neurological services, but
are constrained by enormous financial barriers.
Angels of the OR, Inc. thanks you for your past support, and hopes that we can count on
your continued support as we move forward. The current health care reform packages being
developed will not come in time for everyone. Angels of the OR, Inc. is ready to help, and your
generous contributions will enable us to continue to provide services for the many people who
still do not have the resources to pay for the care they need.
