The Education Foundation of Anne Arundel County Public Schools is helping bridge gaps, support innovation, and create new opportunities for students and educators throughout the county. In this week’s Local Business Spotlight, we talk with Joe Callahan about why a foundation like this is so important, why bringing it back after a period of dormancy mattered, and why this is such a well-kept secret.

We also get into what the foundation actually does—how it helps fund programs, supports schools and teachers, and works to meet needs that might otherwise go unmet. It is a conversation about public education, community support, and the many ways a strong foundation can make a real difference.

And because this is not something that happens without community buy-in, we also talk about how people can step up—whether that means donating money, volunteering time, mentoring students, or finding other ways to lend a hand.

Have a listen!
