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.

Philanthropy Focused on Women's Issues

The Women’s Fund of the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore is a permanent endowment fund created through the power of collective philanthropy. The Fund will provide grants that address the unmet needs of women and girls across the Lower Shore Counties of Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester, focusing on financial literacy, housing, abuse counseling, job training, education and more. This unique all-volunteer network aims to transform the lives of women and girls living in our Community.

Join Us.

Individuals who donate $1,000 will be considered Visionary Founders.

Visionary Founders are permanently recognized and will guide the growth of the Fund in the future. Women’s Fund Founders also benefit from the social and networking opportunities of being a part of this dynamic group; building professional connections, strengthening community ties and helping them become philanthropic leaders. Individuals, couples, groups and businesses are welcome as Visionary Founders.

Individuals who make their commitment through a five year pledge will be recognized as Founders.

To become a Visionary Founder or donor, or to gift this designation to someone special in your life, please print the form here, and mail with your payment.

Visionary Founders celebrate the creation of a new Women's Fund with a check for $10,000. Pictured above are CFES Board Members Lauren Taylor,
