The France-Merrick Foundation supports non-profit organizations aimed at enriching the quality of life in Baltimore and surrounding areas through grants and collaborative initiatives. Their focus spans several key areas including civic and culture, community and economic development, education, environment, health and human services, and historic preservation.
Grant applicants must be 501(c)(3) non-profits based in Maryland, primarily serving the greater Baltimore region. The Foundation prefers one-time, project-specific funding requests with clear start and end points rather than ongoing operational support. Applicants should demonstrate financial stability to sustain their projects, along with strong administrative capacity and program effectiveness. They must also provide clear evaluation criteria and expected outcomes.
The Foundation does not fund individuals, special events or advertising, deficit financing or debt reduction, political activities, or general operating expenses. The grant deadline is August 22, 2025, with the grant amount and duration not specified.
