The Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore (CFES) was established in 1984, and is located in Salisbury, Maryland. Its mission is to "To strengthen our community by connecting people who care with causes that matter to improve quality of life in our region" and its vision is for "...a community where all can live, learn, work, create and prosper".[2] It serves the three lower counties of the Eastern Shore of Maryland: Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester.[2]

Annually CFES awards more than $5 million in grants and scholarships.[3] In June 2010, the Council on Foundations released a report titled Benchmarking Beyond Asset Size which ranked the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore 23 in the nation,[4] out of over 700 community foundations,[5] for receiving the most gifts per capita for fiscal year 2009. The same report was released in April 2014 ranking CFES 84 in the nation for most gifts received per capita for fiscal year 2013.[6]

CFES is one of a growing number of community foundations across the U.S. and the world, and is a 501(c)(3) public charity organization.

Philanthropic funds

CFES works with individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofit partners to establish funds suited to their philanthropic needs. Available funds are donor-advised, designated, field of interest, scholarship, unrestricted, and agency.[7] Each donor's funds are pooled for investment management purposes to minimize costs and achieve a greater return, therefore making it possible for a smaller individual fund to enjoy the same benefits as a large foundation.

The Foundation is also able to respond to urgent community needs through funds such as the Disaster Fund which supported areas such as Crisfield, Maryland effected by Hurricane Sandy.[8] Another urgent need fund is the Help Your Neighbor Fund. This fund provides pharmaceutical, food, and utility assistance to over 150 local charities.[9]

Another example of funds that benefit the community are two funds established in July 2011 to benefit the Salisbury Police Department: Salisbury Police Department K-9 and Mounted Unit Fund, which will establish a K-9 unit and reestablish the mounted unit, and the Salisbury Police Department Future Officer Recruits College Education Scholarship Fund, which will allow the Salisbury Police Department to offer college scholarships to the 2-year Criminal Justice program at Wor-Wic Community College.[10][11]

In 2011 the Foundation's donors launched The Women's Fund, which provides grants that address the needs of women and girls in the Maryland Counties of Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester. They focus of financial literacy, housing, counseling, job training, and education.[12]

In 2015 CFES launched Shore Gives More, a Giving Tuesday campaign, raising $7,500 for 23 local nonprofits.[13] In 2017, over $164,000 was raised for 80 nonprofits.[14][15] In 2018, 99 local nonprofits are participating. With this campaign, CFES contracts with a 3rd party platform, currently CiviCore to operate a giving day at no cost to the nonprofit, other than credit card fees, thanks to its sponsors 47ABC, Pohanka of Salisbury, the Perdue Family Fund, and the Hershey Family Fund.[16]

Grant opportunities

CFES offers grants to local nonprofit, community, and faith-based organizations. Grant programs are Community Needs, Education Awards, Neighborhood Grants, Workforce Development, Women's Fund, and a Mini-Grants Program. The Mini-Grants program encompasses many programs such as the Technical Mini-Grant Program, Help Your Neighbor Program, Chairman's Fund, and various Field of Interest and Designated Funds.[17]

ShoreCAN volunteer center

In 2009, CFES established the ShoreCAN Volunteer Center. The purpose of the Volunteer Center was to "connect local nonprofit organizations that need volunteers with individuals on the Lower Shore who are looking for volunteer opportunities."[18] ShoreCAN served the same tri-county area as CFES.[19] The ShoreCAN Volunteer Center collaborated with the Salisbury University Volunteer Center on volunteers and opportunities.[20] The Volunteer Center operated through HandsON Connect, a volunteer portal powered by the HandsOn Network and the Points of Light Institute.

The ShoreCAN Volunteer Center was partially funded in 2009 and 2010 through the Community Experience Partnership   of the Atlantic Philanthropies. CFES was one of 30 community foundations selected to participate in The Community Experience Partnership.[21] The second phase of the Community Experience Partnership was focused on volunteerism for the 50+ population.

In 2011, the ShoreCAN Volunteer Center received a three-year grant through the Maryland Governor's Office of Service and Volunteerism from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Volunteer Generation Fund. The Volunteer Generation Fund was established as part of the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. The Volunteer Center is also sponsored by Delmarva Power.

In 2015, in an effort to avoid duplication of services, the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore joined forces with the United Way of the Lower Eastern Shore, and migrated the nonprofits listed on ShoreCAN to the United Way's Get Connected database platform.

Publications

Newsletter

CFES publishes quarterly newsletters titled The Pillar.[22]

Television

The local public-access television cable TV station, PAC 14, produces a monthly television show titled Community Foundation Spotlight.[23] On this show CFES President Erica Joseph interviews Executive Directors from various local nonprofits.

Annual awards

The Community Foundation awards three awards at their Annual Meeting each November.[24] The Henson Award for Nonprofit Excellence was established in 1989 to recognize Richard A. Henson's contributions to the community. The Frank H. Morris Humanitarian Award was established to recognize Frank H. Morris' dedication to humanitarian ideals. In 2011, the Mary Gladys Jones Volunteer of the Year Award was established to recognize an individual who made outstanding contributions to community service and volunteerism.
