For 57 years, the Community Foundation of Howard County (CFHC) has been connecting its generous donors with the critical needs in our community through grantmaking.
Each year, in partnership with our generous donors, we award grants to registered nonprofits that are looking to improve our community.
Our Community Grants Program runs in the fourth quarter of each year. Expect to hear more about the 2026 process in September. To be considered for a grant, an organization must meet IRS charitable guidelines. Each program is unique in its eligibility and application requirements, which are outlined below.
