Ideal Applicant
A Maryland Eastern Shore youth-focused nonprofit, school program, or community sports league with a concrete project budget and demonstrable local impact.
Good Fit
- • Project-level request for youth sports, recreation, or development programs on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
- • Modest grant size need (many grants under $5,000, occasional grants up to ~$10–11k).
- • Clear demonstration of community-level impact and use of funds for programming or equipment.
- • Ability to complete an online application and meet quarterly submission timelines.
Geography
Observed giving in both years is fully concentrated in Maryland, focused on Eastern Shore communities, with no out-of-state grantees.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 16 distinct recipients in 2023 (20 in 2022) across schools, leagues, nonprofits and local government entities, showing a broad set of independent local beneficiaries.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows 11 new recipients in 2023 and the website provides an electronic quarterly application; filings that mention preselection create mixed signals, but observed turnover and the public application page indicate that unfamiliar applicants can plausibly enter the portfolio.
