Sharing Montgomery Fund
Application Process
For this grant cycle, the Montgomery County Community Foundation will make between $150,000 - $200,000 in grants through the Sharing Montgomery Fund. Grants may support special projects or continuation funding, including general operating support. The average grant will be $5,000.
Last year, the Sharing Montgomery Fund gave $160,000 in grants to 39 organizations, which was part of the $5.3 million total given to county organizations through all of the Community Foundation’s family, corporate and community leadership funds in that same period. The grant list of the Sharing Montgomery Fund is widely shared with the MCCF donor community to interest these families and businesses in directly supporting some of the best nonprofits working with vulnerable residents.
