Annapolis, Maryland
As a small foundation, the DF tries to keep its focus local, and is fortunate to be situated somewhere with abundant non-profits and progressive partners in city and state government.
“Annapolis stands as a living testament to our nation’s past, a place where the echoes of history inspire us to build a better future for all Marylanders.”
Governor Wes Moore
Dare to know.
“Dare to know” is the English translation of Sapere aude, a Latin saying coined by Immanuel Kant that’s widely regarded as the motto of the Enlightenment. Kant realized that scientific truth, sometimes controversial, was useless unless people had the personal courage to acknowledge and defend it — that wisdom was not just a matter of knowledge but also of audacity.
