Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Maryland—preferably serving Hagerstown/Washington County—with programs in education, youth development, health, arts/culture, community services, or public safety and a clear, project-specific request.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in Maryland, especially Hagerstown/Washington County.
- • Provides proof of 501(c)(3) status and submits a written application per website instructions.
- • Project aligns with education, youth services, health, arts, community centers, or emergency/public safety.
- • Asks for a clearly defined, project-specific amount (fits the foundation’s common small-to-mid grant sizes).
- • Demonstrates local impact, partnerships, and measurable outcomes.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in Maryland (about 98% of dollars) with many awards to Hagerstown/Washington County despite a handful of out-of-state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 66 distinct recipients and a mix of sectors (education, youth, health, arts, public safety); across three years there are many returning grantees but also substantial new entrants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of entry exists: 19 new recipients in the latest year (~29%) and a visible public application path (website guidance, named contact, written submission requirement, rolling deadline), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to join the portfolio.
