Local Impact Partners Focused on Washington County Maryland, the affiliate operates with families and a large volunteer base, presenting opportunities to win local corporate sponsorships and foundation grants. The Wells Fargo grant in 2022 demonstrates credibility with corporate funders that can be leveraged to approach similar donors.
