Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized charities or individuals in Frederick/Washington counties (MD) seeking support for medical expenses, health services, or related community programs such as nursing education.
Good Fit
- • Based in Frederick or Washington counties in Maryland (local presence or service).
- • Requests for reimbursement or payment of medical procedures not covered by insurance.
- • Ability to supply physician documentation or medical necessity information.
- • Project budget or need that fits typical $10K–$15K award sizes.
- • Community health organizations, clinics, nursing programs, or direct-service charities.
Geography
Giving is strongly focused in Maryland, especially Frederick (about 83% of 2024 dollars), with only limited out‑of‑state awards observed (DC and PA). The foundation also states service restrictions to Frederick and Washington counties in Maryland.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct recipients including charities, a college program, a hospital foundation and individuals, and the three‑year history shows both repeat and new grantees; this indicates a modest but not extensive portfolio of independent recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new grantees appears across years (for example, several new recipients in 2023 and three new recipients in 2024) and a public application route is described (rolling submissions, phone and mailing contact to any officer), so unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path to apply.
