The France-Merrick Foundation invests in non-profit organizations to enrich the quality of life across Baltimore and beyond through grantmaking and collaborative efforts. The Foundation has six main areas of focus: civic and culture, community and economic development, conservation, education, health and human services and historic preservation. The Foundation aims to increase the capacity of organizations to have a positive impact on lives and communities. Funding is focused on project-oriented requests that have defined beginnings and endings, which do not require ongoing financial support, as opposed to annual giving or operational support.
