Mid-Shore Community Foundation Partners With Local Nonprofit Organizations

The Mid-Shore Community Foundation recognizes the importance of strong nonprofit agencies serving the Mid-Shore community. The strength of this community is directly related to the strength of our nonprofit organizations. Because of that, the Mid-Shore Community Foundation is committed to the support of Mid-Shore nonprofits so that these critical community resources can strengthen their services and expand their capacity to serve the Mid-Shore community.

Organization Endowment Funds

The Mid-Shore Community Foundation offers “turnkey” solutions to nonprofits seeking a steady stream of permanent endowment support. We can build an endowment fund for your organization; accept stock, real estate and other “complex gifts” on behalf of your donors; and much more. Learn about our investment management program.
