Millersville, MD – October 1, 2025 – The Coordinating Center is proud to announce that its longstanding Family Resource Fund has been renamed The Center’s Bridge Fund, reflecting a renewed commitment to bridging gaps in access to essential resources for individuals and households across our community.
Why the Change?
The previous name, “Family Resource Fund,” did not fully reflect the breadth or impact of what the fund supports, nor the diversity of those served. While the fund has always helped the families The Center serves, its reach extends to a wide range of individuals and households, providing critical support to those facing barriers to essential resources.
What Does the New Name Mean?
The Center’s Bridge Fund communicates the idea of bridging gaps in access to resources, services, and supports that address critical and quality-of-life needs. The new name better aligns with The Coordinating Center’s mission and values, clearly conveying purpose and impact to donors, partners, and the community.
Impact and Opportunity
This change creates a stronger identity, making the fund more memorable and marketable for fundraising events and campaigns. The tagline, “Bridging Gaps. Meeting Needs. Enhancing Lives,” reinforces the fund’s commitment to improving lives and reducing barriers for all.
“This name change is more than a rebrand, it’s a renewed promise to our clients, donors, and partners. The Center’s Bridge Fund embodies our dedication to bridging gaps and meeting needs for all individuals and households. Every dollar raised goes directly to those we serve, and together, we can create lasting impact and opportunity.” Teresa Titus-Howard, PhD, MHA, MSW, CCM, President and CEO
