WhO We ARE

The Chesapeake Bay Funders Network (CBFN) is a funding collaborative dedicated to improving the capacity within communities to initiate and sustain change necessary to promote and protect the health of the Chesapeake Bay.  CBFN is a goal-oriented organization that fosters opportunities for funders to pool resources and work together on shared interests in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.  It allows grantmakers to network, exchange information and collaborate to protect and restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed.

Co-chaired by the Chesapeake Bay Trust and The Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment, this successful example of collaborative funding is a model for grantmakers throughout the nation.  We welcome you to our website and invite you to learn more about our Network's collaborations to save our national treasure, the Chesapeake Bay.
