Description
The William E. Barnhart Memorial Fund, administered by the Community Foundation of Frederick County, supports organizations providing direct services to Frederick County, Maryland residents with cancer. Established through William E. Barnhart’s estate, the fund reflects the Foundation’s broader goal of improving quality of life in the county.
The fund focuses on direct benefits and service provision rather than a specified research agenda or named cancer treatment approach. Grant resources must support costs associated with serving Frederick County residents. Organizations based outside the county may apply if their funded services benefit this local population. The Foundation’s Grants Committee reviews proposals and recommends awards to its Board of Trustees for approval.
