What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Community Grants
The Community Grants Program provides funding for operational and project needs. Operational grants provide support for the day-to-day costs of running a non-profit organization. These grants provide unrestricted income to help an organization carry out its goals without imposing the requirement to develop activities directly attributable to the grant. A Project grant is given to support a specific set of activities, with a beginning and an end, explicit objectives and a pre-determined cost. Project grant funds are restricted and must be used for the specified project.
Mini-Grants
Through the Mini-Grant program, funding is provided to support smaller nonprofits, projects that are time-sensitive, first-time applicants, nonprofits less than five years old, school enrichment programs that are not funded through the district budget, and nonprofits not eligible for grants through the Community Grant program.
Scholarships
The Community Foundation of Howard County administers a number of scholarship programs established by individual donors and organizations to assist Howard County students in pursuing higher education.
Women's Giving Circle of Howard County
The Women’s Giving Circle is building a community of philanthropists and creating a permanent legacy to address the needs of women and girls in Howard County.
Howard County Community Relief Fund
The Relief Fund was established by the Community Foundation of Howard County to help address needs in the aftermath of a disaster or tragedy within Howard County. The CFHoCo Board uses several factors to decide when to activate the fund, including the severity of the incident, impact on the community, the needs of residents and businesses, and the availability of resources.
