Limited VolunteerThe Town Creek Foundation was established in 1981 by Edmund “Ted” Stanley, a retired printing industry executive. Over the years our grantmaking has ranged across a broad geographic and programmatic scope. In recent years we have sharpened the focus of our grantmaking, and today our mission is to provide resources to help catalyze, support, and accelerate progressive changes in environmental policy and practice within the State of Maryland.
We are supporting research and stakeholder engagement processes to develop strategies for confronting Maryland’s most important environmental challenges. We are funding organizing and advocacy campaigns to build public support for stronger environmental policies and we are supporting administrative advocacy and litigation to reduce pollution and hold polluters accountable. Through all of this we are helping to build a bigger, stronger, and more diverse base of environmentally engaged Marylanders.
