The Aaron Straus and Lillie Straus Foundation

The Aaron Straus and Lillie Straus Foundation has provided the seed funding to start Centro SOL. Since then, the foundation has supported our projects on maternal, mental and child health.

Aaron and Lillie Straus’ clearly focused philanthropic vision, to give the people of Baltimore protection, education, and opportunity, continues today in a contemporary context. With the Foundation’s long-term support of critical policies and programs, our intention and aspiration remains a reflection of their original vision: to connect families of Baltimore to avenues of hope and opportunity that tap their potential for a more secure future.
