The Jim and Carol Trawick Foundation funds programs and activities that are primarily located in Montgomery County, Md. and benefit Montgomery County residents.

Programs in the Health and Human Services arena should assist the most vulnerable in the community and those that have the least access to resources. The program must benefit Montgomery County residents, meet a demonstrated community need, be well-planned and ready to proceed and have well-defined outcome measures. Preference will be given to those programs that demonstrate evidence of collaboration with other community groups and evidence of organizational capacity for grants management.


What We Fund

The annual grants program will award grants to tax exempt organizations as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. These grants will be awarded for specific initiatives or endeavors. The funds may help launch a new project or program or they may fund capacity- building activities that enhance an organization's ability to work toward its mission. Capacity building activities of interest to the Trawick Foundation include: board development, information technology and web development, financial management, leadership development and strategic planning. In some instances, expansion of current programs that further the organization’s mission will be considered.

Grants will not be awarded for general operating support, endowments, capital construction, fundraising campaigns or efforts to influence legislation or public elections or to pay off existing debts or deficits.
