Community Trust Foundation

Garrett County Fund

CTF has invested more than 7 million dollars in the region, with almost 3 million of that right here in Garrett County for projects like museums, literacy, robotics, mentoring, camping & skiing for blind youth, performing arts, the environment, historical preservation, and food security.

The Invest in Garrett County Fund was created in 2016 by passionate community members dedicated to supporting Garrett County nonprofits. Funded by community members that love the place they call home; anyone can contribute to the fund in any amount. The fund achieved its first milestone in 2024, which allowed for the start of annual grants to county causes.
