About Us
For three decades, we have helped translate simple good intentions into powerful acts of philanthropy that build a stronger, more vibrant community not only for today but for the future.
We’ve guided thousands of generous Frederick County citizens, like you, in creating funds that capture their unique visions or contributing to existing funds that closely match their charitable intentions. These funds provide scholarships to students pursuing their educational dreams, and grants to area nonprofits.
The Community Foundation is dedicated to connecting people who care with causes that matter to enrich the quality of life in Frederick County now and for future generations. If you’re searching for an organization to help you create meaningful, lasting impact, then you’ve come to the right place.
Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
The Community Foundation strives to be a diverse, inclusive, and accessible organization that can fulfill our mission of supporting our entire community. This means making efforts to improve equity and inclusiveness in both our internal operational policies and practices and our external grantmaking and community work. We are deliberate in our actions and are fully committed to this journey.
