Grants
The Mid-Shore Community Foundation is one of the largest grant makers in the
region. Through our many different
types of funds, we support a variety of granting and scholarship programs.
Deadlines, Process and Response Time
As a community foundation, we involve community members in our grantmaking decisions by inviting them to serve on our Grants Committee, which meets at least quarterly.
Grants are awarded during 2 grant cycles each year. Requests are accepted at any time, but should be submitted with the following deadlines in mind:
