About University of Maryland Medical System
A defining feature of University of Maryland Medical System Corporation’s giving is its scale inside the UMMS ecosystem: in the latest grants list, support for University of Maryland Medical System Foundation Inc appeared twice, including $4,695,647 in 2023 for program funding and $4,317,356 in 2024 for operational support. That pattern shows a funder that uses large institutional grants alongside targeted community investments. The foundation’s stated purpose emphasizes compassionate, high-quality, patient- and family-centered care, commitment to community, health care transformation, and discovery-based medicine. Recent grants show those principles in practice through support for food access, community partnerships, health education, and research-adjacent institutions. Within Baltimore and nearby Maryland communities, the funder backed Meals on Wheels Central MD with a restricted private grant for year 1 of 3, and it also supported the Maryland Food Bank, Baltimore Community Lending, and community health partners such as Southwest Partnership Inc. The portfolio also reaches into public-facing health and family programming, with grants tied to local hospitals, health events, and community organizations across the UMMS service area. Overall, the foundation combines institutional support with place-based philanthropy centered on Maryland health needs.
