About Cash Campaign of Maryland
Cash Campaign of Maryland Inc concentrates on free tax preparation and related financial capability work for low- to moderate-income individuals and families. A defining feature of the foundation’s grantmaking is its use of fiscal sponsorship: it supported the Maryland Center for Collegiate Financial Wellness with $154,390 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025, indicating sustained backing for an intermediary that builds financial wellness capacity. The same pattern appears in direct service grants to community organizations that operate tax-prep sites, such as Shore Up Inc, which received $82,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2025 for free or low-income tax preparation. The portfolio also reaches beyond tax filing into advocacy and financial-navigation work, including support for agencies serving low-income taxpayers, families eligible for credits, and patients needing financial coordination. Across recent awards, the foundation appears to favor practical infrastructure for filing assistance, education, and benefits access rather than one-off program publicity. Its leadership is listed as Robin McKinney, and the organization’s stated purpose is promoting the economic advancement of low-to-moderate income individuals and families in Baltimore and across Maryland.
