The mission of the Maryland Home & Community Services Foundation is to improve the quality of life for Marylanders needing supportive services at home and in the community.
Established in 1997 with funds from the sale of the Visiting Nurses Association of Maryland, the Foundation has returned over $2 million of these funds to the community through competitive grants to over one hundred organizations for a variety of services that further this goal.
To enable non-profit organizations to mount larger scale approaches that contribute to their respective missions, the Foundation has decided, for its final round of grants, to award several organizations a total of $500,000 for eldercare services projects that will begin in July, 2012 and conclude by 12/30/14.
It is envisioned that these grants, while divesting the resources of the Foundation, will leave a legacy of innovative services for Marylanders in need of supportive services at home and in the community.
We invite non-profit organizations serving Marylanders to submit by email a Letter of Intent by 12/31/11. Please inform the Foundation by email if your organization is planning to submit a Letter of Intent.
