"The Foundation has allowed us to maintain exemplary student outcomes and build organizational capacity to support future expansion."

-Sarah Hemminger, Cofounder, Thread, Baltimore, Maryland

For more than four decades, the T. Rowe Price Foundation has supported the communities where we work and beyond. With $157 million in direct grants and matching contributions since 1981, the Foundation is committed to making an impact in Baltimore and communities around the globe.

Our Approach to Philanthropy

The T. Rowe Price Foundation aims to be a strong collaborator in communities where T. Rowe Price associates live and work and beyond. We believe partnership is the most effective way for our communities to realize positive change and that our community partners are best equipped—better than we are—to decide how their resources and assets should be utilized. Our experience shows that it is important to measure impact through our grantmaking as well as through our practices; the “how” we work and what we bring to community. We recognize that meaningful and lasting change cannot happen overnight, and we remain deeply committed to the long-term success of our grantees and partners in community.

Since 2016, the Foundation has hosted capacity building workshops and cohort learning opportunities for nonprofits designed to strengthen the delivery of their services and their ability to deliver on their mission. To date, more than 6,000 participants from over 700 organizations have participated.
