For more than 50 years, we have fought vigilantly for healthy rivers, clean streams, and a saved Chesapeake Bay. Explore our mission, history, and more below.


The accounting firm of Gelman, Rosenberg & Freedman (now GRF CPAs & Advisors) has consistently provided the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) with superior services.  The team, led by partner Terri McKnight, is knowledgeable about the nuances of the nonprofit industry, as well as attentive and thorough in their responses to any questions and concerns.  The continuity of staff during audit engagements contributes to an effective and timely process, and ensures that the best internal controls, policies and procedures are firmly in place. CBF would recommend Gelman, Rosenberg and Freedman (GRF) to anyone in need of a high-quality accounting firm.”
