BALTIMORE - Marylandian -- Since the pandemic, the Fashion Umbrella Foundation has worked hard to stay creative in its fundraising initiatives that assist in keeping programs alive, keeping the doors of this youth-development-driven organization. With programs that cater to youth and the arts community reigniting the Foundation's membership program was an easy decision to make and a unanimous vote from its Executive Board.

As a member of the Fashion Umbrella Foundation, individuals and entities will receive benefits like first notice of upcoming programs, registration deadlines, and events. Members will also receive discounted or complimentary tickets (depending on the event) and invites to private events for members of the organization.

"We had this platform in place before, but the man hours needed to keep it flowing were more than I could handle, but now that the team is growing, we can have a stronger designated concentration devoted solely to the membership portal. I am excited about this accomplishment so early in this new fiscal year, and we hope everyone else will be excited too." State Nixon.
