Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charitable organizations based in Cumberland/Allegany County, MD (churches, food banks, schools, local human-service providers) seeking modest operating support and with existing local credibility or referrals.
Good Fit
- • Located in Cumberland/Allegany County or same Maryland service area.
- • Provides direct human services, food assistance, school or faith-based community support.
- • Seeks operating or daily operational support in the $2k–$8k range.
- • Has an existing relationship or referral from a local trustee, bank trustee, or past grantee.
- • Is a registered charity with a history of local service and repeat funding potential.
Geography
Observed giving is geographically narrow: all grants in the latest year went to organizations in Maryland, concentrated in the Cumberland area.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a moderate number of distinct local recipients (8 in 2024, 13 in 2022) with several repeat grantees across years, showing a moderately broad local portfolio despite dollar concentration among the top five.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings and application metadata state grants are by preselection only and no public submission route was found; although 2 new recipients appeared in 2024, the declared invitation-only practice makes it unlikely unfamiliar applicants can apply without a referral or relationship.
