Sharing Montgomery Fund (www.thecommunityfoundation.org)

Established more than 20 years ago, the Montgomery County office of the Greater Washington Community Foundation was created to make it easier for county residents and businesses to give to the causes most dear to their hearts, anywhere in the world. The foundation also pools contributions from hundreds of people through Sharing Montgomery, a fund that supports local nonprofits serving our low-income neighbors. The foundation’s staff and donor-led committees conduct a rigorous annual vetting process that evaluates each applicant for strong leadership, fiscal management and program excellence. Through a gift to Sharing Montgomery, a donor can touch the lives of thousands of neighbors with safety-net services that address the basic needs of the most vulnerable residents; educational opportunities that help youths succeed; and workforce-development programs that enable adults to secure living-wage jobs.
