Ideal Applicant
A local or regional educational institution, community service group, or scholarship-eligible student (dependent of an eligible employee) with demonstrable ties to Maryland or to the foundation's established grantee network.
Good Fit
- • Organization operates in Maryland or has a clear connection to the foundation's service area.
- • Programs are education-focused or provide community services (schools, volunteer fire companies, health services).
- • Applicant can demonstrate prior relationship or local credibility with the foundation or its network.
- • Request size aligns with the foundation's typical small-to-mid grant amounts (roughly $100–$25,000, often near $1,000).
- • For scholarships, applicant meets the explicit employee-dependent eligibility and submits the foundation application form.
Geography
Grants reach a dozen states, but about two-thirds of dollars and the majority of grants are concentrated in Maryland, indicating a primarily state-focused footprint with some out-of-state giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows roughly 104 distinct recipients and about 106 grants, spanning schools, community groups, hospitals, and scholarship recipients—a broad and diverse recipient set for this foundation's size.
New Applicants
Behavior shows high repeat funding (95 returning grantees) and only nine new recipients last year, suggesting a relationship-driven pattern; however, an explicit scholarship application route and some new grantees indicate that entry is possible, so openness cannot be judged closed.
