The Community Foundation's mission is to support high-impact nonprofits serving Prince George’s County's low-income residents, addressing urgent community needs, advancing economic justice, and working to close the racial/ethnic wealth gap. This includes empowering the nonprofit community and residents to overcome challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic and future hurdles through targeted community support.
The Sharing Montgomery Fund grants provide flexible, general operating support targeting nonprofits serving Montgomery County's low-income residents, allowing them to allocate funds where most needed. The grant focuses on aiding those disproportionately affected by the pandemic, with priorities in basic needs for equitable COVID-19 recovery, economic mobility to help exit poverty, and wealth building for individual and community resilience. The grantmaking aligns with a strategic goal to close the racial wealth gap, promoting racial equity and inclusion by supporting BIPOC-led organizations and addressing systemic disparities affecting BIPOC communities.
