What Others Say:
Thank you very much for the scholarship money that was awarded to me. I am planning on attending Wor-Wic Community College for two years and then transferring to Salisbury University. While at Wor-Wic I will be majoring in nursing and my career goal is to become a forensic nurse. The money I have been awarded will definitely help me in achieving this goal.

About CFES

The mission of the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore is to strengthen the community by building charitable funds, maximizing benefits to donors, making effective grants, and providing leadership to address community needs.
 
As a nonprofit charitable organization, the Foundation is the largest non-governmental source of support for nonprofit organizations in the Maryland lower shore counties of Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester.

Gifts to the Community Foundation create permanent endowment funds that steadily grow in value over time and produce income for grants to local charitable nonprofit organizations.

In fiscal 2011 the Foundation made 1,011 grants totaling $3.7 million as scholarships and as grants, to nonprofit and faith-based organizations to help improve the quality of life for the citizens of this region.

We are pleased to provide the information in this web site that will help to increase awareness of the benefits to donors, nonprofits and the community that results from charitable giving through the Community Foundation.
 
Our offices are open 8am - 4pm, Monday - Friday. (During the Months of July and August we are open 8am - 4:30pm, Monday - Thursday and 8am - 1pm on Friday.)
