Support for Environmental Programs in Maryland

The Town Creek Foundation primarily provides grants to nonprofit organizations that work to promote ecological sustainability in Maryland. The Foundation focuses on statewide environmental advocacy and programs that encourage ecologically sustainable policies and practices on the Eastern Shore, with emphasis on organizations helping to restore and protect the Chesapeake Bay. In addition, the Foundation supports a limited number of organizations nationally that are working to reduce the pressure on forests from the paper products industry, with emphasis on the Southern Appalachian region. The Foundation reviews letters of inquiry twice each year; the upcoming deadline is November 20, 2009. Online letter of inquiry guidelines are available on the Foundation’s website.
