A fund of Fount & Flourish

Built by women. Backed by women.

Women investing in women, right here at home.

The Fount Fund is a permanent giving fund built by the women of Fount & Flourish to support women, girls, and local causes across Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.

Why this exists

When we launched The Fount Fund in March 2026, I knew we wanted to do more than give. We wanted to build a village of women who invest in women and girls right here in Anne Arundel County (and who keep showing up long after the party ends).

The Fount has always been about creating space for women. The Fund is how we help make more of it, in our own backyard.
