Community Foundation of Southern Maryland

Our vision is to make Southern Maryland the best place to live and give. The Community Foundation of Southern Maryland is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt, autonomous, public charity created by and for the people of Southern Maryland. We work with you to help you fulfill your charitable interests and goals – easily and effectively. We build charitable funds that support community needs and opportunities. Fo

lks may establish both non-endowed funds, to support community needs today and endowed funds to ensure there is support for good, forever, for our region. At the Community Foundation of Southern Maryland, we realize that your gifts are more than money. Your gifts are made up of your hopes and dreams for a better community. We want to help you make an impact today and for years to come by creating your own LEGACY. In order to achieve our vision of making Southern Maryland the best place to live and give, the Board of Directors of the Community Foundation of Southern Maryland has entered into an affiliation agreement with Chesapeake Charities, a community foundation that currently supports grant making in the Eastern Shore and parts of Southern Maryland. By combining forces, we will double our assets and bring additional staff and resources to the community to better serve you, our fund holders, and the growing needs of Calvert, Charles & St.
