The Foundation

In 2023, Visit Annapolis & Anne Arundel County launched a nonprofit charitable arm to invest in and sustain the tourism and hospitality industry through mission-adjacent work.

We advance this mission by delivering workforce development, education, and training programs tailored to the evolving needs of our tourism and hospitality community. Through collaboration and sustainable practices, we are building a stronger, more resilient future for our community and the industry we are proud to support.
