The Sharing Montgomery Fund, offered by the Greater Washington Community Foundation, provides support to high-impact nonprofits that serve low-income residents in Montgomery County, Maryland. This grant opportunity focuses on building a more equitable and thriving community by addressing urgent needs and advancing economic justice.
For the FY26 grant cycle, nonprofits can apply for one-time grants ranging from $5,000 to $10,000. The deadline to apply is August 7, 2025. The fund will award up to 30 grants in this cycle, although the specific duration of each grant is not mentioned.
This initiative is part of the foundation’s broader 10-year strategic plan to close the wealth gap and promote stability throughout the region. Funding priorities include addressing basic needs such as access to healthcare, mental health services, food, affordable housing, childcare, and education. Programs that support economic mobility—like job training, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship—are also encouraged.
Additionally, the fund supports community wealth-building efforts that help individuals gain financial and social capital to improve their long-term prospects. Grants are available in two categories: the first supports nonprofits that have experienced major funding losses since January 2025, and the second helps organizations engage in scenario planning or transitions, including mergers or strategic partnerships.
