About University of Maryland Medical System Foundation
University of Maryland Medical System Foundation Inc channels philanthropic resources into health care excellence for the University of Maryland Medical System, with recent grantmaking centered on program support and research. The largest recent award went to the University of Maryland Medical System Corporation for $3,081,197 in 2024 for program support, followed by $2,795,502 in 2024 to University of Maryland Baltimore for research. Together, those grants show a funder that backs both care delivery and the academic research environment around it. Its focus areas align with system-wide health services: pediatric care through UM Golisano Children's Hospital, trauma care through Shock Trauma Center, heart and vascular care, cancer through UM Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center, rehabilitation and orthopedics, and area-of-greatest-need support. The foundation also made substantial general support grants, including $702,500 to University of Maryland Foundation Inc in 2024. Recent awards to James Lawrence Kernan Hospital Inc and Maryland General Hospital Inc further point to support for institutions within the same medical network.
What University of Maryland Medical System Foundation Funds
Pediatric and specialty hospital care appears in the foundation’s giving through support for UM Golisano Children's Hospital, one of its named focus areas. Trauma is another explicit priority, tied to Shock Trauma Center, alongside heart and vascular care and rehabilitation and orthopedics. Cancer-related support is also part of the mix. The foundation’s stated focus includes UM Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center, and a 2024 grant of $250,000 to American Cancer Society Inc in Hagerstown, MD shows cancer-related support beyond the medical system itself. Education and research are present in the recent grants as well. University of Maryland Baltimore received $2,795,502 in 2024 for research, while University of Maryland Foundation Inc received $702,500 in 2024 for general support. That combination suggests the foundation backs both clinical programs and the academic infrastructure connected to the medical system.
