About Chesapeake Charities
Chesapeake Charities is a community foundation, a tax-exempt public charity enabling people like you to establish charitable funds or donate to a cause you support.
What makes us special is the way we foster charitable activities. People come to us with a passion to make a difference and we help them realize their vision.
