The Chesapeake Bay Trust has become a leader in the effort to develop a network of partners with an interest in restoring the health of the Chesapeake Bay.  By leveraging resources and expertise, the Trust and our partners are working together to engage as many citizens as possible.  Whether through on-the-ground restoration activities or environmental education programs, together we are making a difference!

We are proud to work with a committed group of federal, state, and local agencies, as well as foundations, organizations, and corporations throughout the Chesapeake Bay Region.

Chesapeake Bay Funders Network

The Chesapeake Bay Funders Network (CBFN) is a funding collaborative dedicated to improving the capacity within communities to initiate and sustain change necessary to promote and protect the health of the Chesapeake Bay.  CBFN is a goal-oriented organization that fosters opportunities for funders to pool resources and work together on shared interests in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.  It allows grantmakers to network, exchange information and collaborate to protect and restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed.

Co-chaired by the Chesapeake Bay Trust and The Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment, this successful example of collaborative funding is a model for grantmakers throughout the nation.
