The Foundation

In 2023, Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County launched a nonprofit charitable arm to invest in and sustain the tourism and hospitality industry through mission-adjacent work.

We aim to achieve this goal by providing workforce development, education, and training programs that cater to the evolving and emerging needs of our destination while prioritizing sustainability. By working together, we can create a better future for our community and the industry we all cherish.
