Summary
A local philanthropic organization in Maryland offers multiple grant programs focused on supporting community wellbeing and opportunity. These grants are intended for nonprofit organizations—primarily 501(c)(3)s—as well as, in some cases, government agencies or civic groups. While individuals cannot apply directly, organizations may seek funding to assist individuals, including emergency situations or specific hardship support.
One of the grant options provides flexible, rolling assistance—commonly available from early in the year until the funds are exhausted. These smaller awards start at around $500 and vary by fund, supporting reasonable needs like medical emergencies, training, or basic hardship needs. Another program is carefully structured to empower women 18 and older in challenging life transitions. These awards may go up to around $20,000 per proposal and focus on boosting self‑sufficiency through education, workforce readiness, housing support, financial literacy, and related services.
Broader grants are offered annually for impactful organizational initiatives aligned with county needs—recent years have seen total awards of over $480,000 to local nonprofits. These competitive grants aim to address priorities such as family support, aging in place, behavioral health, housing access, and youth development. Another sizable category—impact grants—has supported a wide range of programming including health and human services, historical preservation, arts, animal welfare, youth mentoring, education, and civic causes. In recent cycles, over $500,000 was distributed across dozens of organizations working in these areas.
All funding is designated for activities and services delivered within the eligible county in Maryland. The awards are generally paid in full at the start of the grant period, though some groups may receive funds on a reimbursement basis. Recipients are required to submit interim or final reports on how the funds were used and the outcomes achieved.
In summary, these grant opportunities are designed to support nonprofits serving a specific county region, with award amounts ranging from several hundred to around twenty thousand dollars. They support both organizational projects and urgent individual assistance when applied for by eligible organizations.
