Description
The Children’s Fresh Air Society Fund (CFSAF) provides grants to nonprofit organizations operating day or residential summer camps that serve disadvantaged and disabled children in the Metropolitan Baltimore area (including Baltimore City, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Baltimore, Harford, and Howard counties). The fund aims to enrich the lives of underserved youth by making summer camp accessible, fostering personal growth, new experiences, and community connections. Grants are typically used to subsidize camperships, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent children from benefiting from summer camp opportunities.
