A Culture of Community Service

A key aspect of Brown Advisory’s culture is our strongly held belief that, as responsible citizens, we have an obligation to give back to our communities in terms of both our energy and our resources. Accordingly, Brown Advisory’s partners and employees are engaged in a wide variety of community activities. In addition to the individual service of our people, the firm itself contributes to our community through its support of a number of worthy non-profit causes and its program of matching employee support of charitable events in which they are active.

William Paca School

We have forged a special relationship with an elementary school close to our headquarters in the Fells Point neighborhood in Baltimore. The projects Brown Advisory employees have undertaken at the William Paca School include:

• Providing copies of weekly news magazines for all the students
• Upgrading the music department with a donated piano and audio equipment as well as a grant of $10,000 for musical instruments and band uniforms Building and stocking a school store, which is now self-supporting
• Trophies have been provided each year for the school's spelling, geography and math bees.
• Facilitating a donation of flag football uniforms and equipment from the Baltimore Ravens.
• Subsidizing school uniforms (different colored shirts for each grade level).
• Organizing and supporting a new a summer enrichment program and boys’ and girls’ after-school programs.

We believe that, as a firm, such concentrated investments of Brown Advisory’s energy and capital can be a force for meaningful change—and we have watched with tremendous pride as test scores at the school have improved.
