About Carver Foundation
A Commitment to the Future
The Carver Foundation was established in 2021 from the shared vision of Guy Carver and Bridget Carver, who sought to create a meaningful way to combine their individual passions while building a lasting philanthropic legacy.
Together, they envisioned a foundation that would support organizations working to protect the natural world, care for animals, and expand opportunities for future generations. The foundation reflects their belief that thoughtful giving can inspire meaningful change and strengthen communities for years to come.

“The support from the Carver Foundation has meant so much to me throughout my Pelotonia journey.

"Truly–thank you. Your donations are the backbone in moments like this. They fund the staff who stay late, the medical care that makes dogs ready for adoption, and the systems that allow us to respond quickly when intake surges without warning. When we ask the community to show up, it’s because you’ve already built the foundation that makes it possible."
— Bailey D, Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter (BARCS)
"Our mission wouldn't be possible without community supporters like you - so thank you."
