From the Chairman…

This has been an exciting year for the Carroll County Foundation. Primarily due to the generosity of the Ashton Foundation, our ability to provide monetary assistance to Carroll County charitable organizations increased substantially. Our assets have continued to grow through the addition of new donors and the ongoing charity of our long term donors. The Foundation’s future success depends on the continued support of our community. If you are not already involved, please consider becoming a donor or volunteer as your circumstances permit. If you are a member of a charitable organization in need of funding, please consider filing a grant application. Information about the Foundation (including a downloadable grant application) is available on here.

Thank you for your interest in the Carroll County Foundation. May you and yours have a joyous holiday season and a happy and prosperous new year!


Giving to Your Community

We think of charitable gifts as ways to “pay one's dues” and give back to the community. Donations to current needs help produce concrete results and positive change.

Charitable gifts can also be investments in a future beyond our vision. Giving through the Foundation means giving to needs visible today and also to challenges emerging tomorrow.

Your charitable gift to establish an endowed philanthropic fund in the Foundation plants seeds that will flourish ceaselessly to nourish and replenish your community.

The Carroll County Foundation is a public charity under Federal tax codes. Therefore, your contributions to the Foundation qualify for maximum deductibility for income, gift and estate taxes. We are happy to consult with you and your personal advisor as to how you can achieve your charitable goals most advantageously. Use our convenient email form to contact us.
