When The Abell Foundation was inaugurated over a half
a century ago, Chairman Harry C. Black and the founding board members
set an agenda that allocated grants for schools, hospitals, and
human service organizations reaching out to the disadvantaged in
the Baltimore community and the region. In the past three decades,
the Foundation has sharpened its focus to address complex challenges
to break through the cycles of urban poverty. Today, the Foundation
places the highest priority on creating solutions that are both

of The Abell Foundation: to give hope by opening the doors of opportunity
to the disenfranchised, knowing that no community can succeed and
thrive if those who live on the margins are not included. We invite
you to use this website to visit our Publications/Research section
where you'll find thought-provoking perspectives on issues affecting
the community at large.
