    About Community Foundation of Howard County

    A $5.3 million grant to Community Homes Housing Inc stands out in The Community Foundation of Howard County Inc’s recent record and points to the scale of its place-based giving. The foundation’s grantmaking is centered on Howard County and nearby Maryland communities, with awards that support housing stability, human services, food access, education, arts, environment, disaster response, and local nonprofit capacity. It also administers scholarship programs for Howard County students pursuing higher education, including awards tied to local schools, athletics, and intended fields of study. Recent grants show a mix of large community investments and smaller targeted awards. Community Action Council of Howard County received multiple grants across human services and food support, while Howard Community College Educational Foundation appears in both education and food-related funding. The foundation also funds donor-advised grants, so some awards are shaped by donor interests rather than a single institutional program. Its stated work includes connecting people, places, and organizations to worthy causes across Howard County and beyond, and the grant record reflects that local, community-based approach.

    What Community Foundation of Howard County Funds

    Housing and shelter are a clear priority. In 2025, the foundation gave $73,350 to Bridges to Housing Stability for housing and shelter, and it also supported Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center Inc with $39,850 in 2023 and $31,900 in 2025 for the same broad area. Food security is another repeated theme. Howard Community College Educational Foundation received $73,350 in 2023 and $52,225 in 2024 for food and nutrition, while Akshaya Patra Foundation USA was awarded $69,500 in 2025 for food and nutrition after earlier community and human-service grants. The foundation also backs disaster response and recovery. In 2023, it made a series of $33,000 grants to Ellicot City Historic District Partnership Incorporated, Central Maryland Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Columbia Partnership, Howard County Tourism Council, and Howard County Chamber of Commerce for disaster relief. On the youth side, Ohana of Howard County Inc received $46,300 in 2025 for youth development, alongside scholarship programs for Howard County students.

    Typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s largest awards: the 25th percentile is $9,000, the median is $12,617, and the 75th percentile is $25,500.

Grantmaking comes from both the foundation’s own community programs and donor-advised grants, and donor-advised awards are driven by donor interests.
