One of our scholarships that has provided broad impact for students is The Joseph Donald Brewer Scholarship Fund. Founded by parents Abigail Richon and William Brewer, the fund honors the memory of their son Joseph, who passed away in 2002. The purpose of the fund is to provide scholarships to Frederick County graduating seniors who have dyslexia and are pursuing postsecondary education.
These are unprecedented times. The rapid spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has dramatically changed our way of life. The economic fallout from COVID-19 is causing significant hardship for many Frederick County households, individuals, nonprofits, and businesses.
The Community Foundation of Frederick County’s office will be closed until further notice.
Since 1986, The Community Foundation of Frederick County has been the leading source for post-secondary scholarship funding in Frederick County.
After Charles Worthington “Chipper” Hoff IV became president of Farmers and Mechanics Bank in 1977, he quickly became involved in some of the community’s largest and most active organizations. Owing in part to his enthusiasm for and involvement in his adopted hometown of Frederick, Chipper was also one of the first people to whom Don Linton and the late Charlie Main reached out to in 1986 when they decided to try to form a community foundation here in Frederick County.
