France-Merrick Foundation

The France-Merrick Foundation concentrates its grant making within the greater Baltimore area and throughout the state of Maryland, specifically in the following six programmatic areas: civic and culture, conservation, community development, health and human services, historic preservation and education. The Foundation favors one-time, project-oriented requests which have defined beginnings and endings, as opposed to annual giving or ongoing operational support. With current assets of more than $200M and an annual grant budget of approximately $10M, the France-Merrick Foundation is one of Maryland’s largest private foundations.
