NONPROFIT SUPPORT PROGRAMS

The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore, as part of its core mission, has supported local nonprofit organizations since 1984. In addition to financial support, the Foundation has developed a number of Nonprofit Support Programs designed to enhance the capacity of local organizations to effectively achieve their mission.

Current Nonprofit Support Programs include:

Nonprofit Scholarship Program

The Nonprofit Scholarship Program is offered in partnership with the Continuing Education and Workforce Development Department at Wor-Wic Community College. Scholarships (covering tuition and fees) are available for select courses each semester to staff and volunteers of local nonprofit 501c3 organizations.
