Welcome.
Ella Thompson loved the children of Baltimore and expressed her faith in them every day. She believed that one person can make a difference, and she proved that by example. The Ella Thompson Fund supports programs that provide recreation to kids in Baltimore's inner city neighborhoods, as well as programs that connect children with the natural environment. This is how we continue Ella's commitment to the children of Baltimore: by believing in them, and by offering them places to be themselves, to learn, and to become.
