Awards are made to Community Supports Partnerships, Hubs, and Service Providers. Now in year three (FY 2027, 2026-2027 school year), awards of $96.3 million across 14 Community Supports Partnerships, 2 Hubs, and 29 Service Providers (108 programs total) were approved on May 21, 2026, projected to serve more than 200,000 students across 80% or more of Maryland schools in all 24 jurisdictions.

markets at an affordable rate. It operates two tracks: the Soft Landing Program (for foreign companies exploring the U.S. market) and the Soft Landing Exchange (for Maryland companies expanding internationally). The Soft Landing Exchange gives Maryland small businesses an affordable way to test expanding into new international markets. Through a network of official partners in strategic markets around the world (including Australia, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Japan, and the United Kingdom), participating companies gain access to facilities, resources, networking, and advisors. Funding of up to $10,000 is available to offset costs including travel, lodging, transportation, and partner program participation fees, disbursed through the ExportMD Program (supported in part by the U.S. SBA State Trade Expansion Program/STEP). The Soft Landing Program for international (foreign) companies gives them a low-risk, affordable way to explore the U.S. market before committing fully. Through Global Gateway partners in Maryland, eligible foreign companies can place up to two staff at a business facility for six months, access learning, networking, and mentoring services, attend at least five targeted matchmaking meetings with Maryland companies and organizations, and get help with business registration and navigating state regulations. Eligible companies can also receive funding toward the physical, programmatic, and other costs of entering the U.S. market. Additionally, the Innovation Station Business Incubator in Prince George's County offers a specialized Soft Landing Program for Korean and other international businesses entering the U.S. market, providing subsidized office space, a $10,000 Maryland Global Gateway Grant, mentoring, and business support services including assistance with business registration, immigration, and accounting. Additional resources available through Prince George's County partners include the EDI Fund ($50 million available), ExportMD grant program (up to $5,000 plus up to 40 hours of Commerce foreign trade representative services), and state tax credits and incentives (job creation, facility, equipment).","funding":{"details":"Maryland companies may apply for funding to help offset costs associated with this program.

the VLT Small Business Flex Fund — uses 1.5% of proceeds from video lottery terminals (slot machines) at Maryland's six casinos to provide below-market-rate loans to small, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses throughout Maryland. The program is administered by the Maryland Department of Commerce through regional lending partners. At least 50% of funds are prioritized for businesses within 10 miles of Maryland's six casinos: Maryland Live! in Anne Arundel County, Hollywood Casino Perryville in Cecil County, Rocky Gap Casino in Allegany County, Ocean Downs in Worcester County, Horseshoe Casino Baltimore in Baltimore City, and MGM National Harbor in Prince George's County. The remaining 50% is available to qualifying businesses statewide. No government guarantee is required. The program has two main tiers: (1) Standard loans from $10,000 to $1,000,000 at or below current market interest rates (currently prime plus 1%), with terms up to 5 years for working capital and up to 15 years for fixed assets. Through FSC First (VLT Small Business Flex Fund), loans range from $25,000–$250,000 with terms up to 10 years; no government guarantee required. A non-refundable application fee of $250 applies ($25 for loans $10,000–$25,000) and a 1% origination fee at closing. Some managers offer up to $5.5M via SBA 504/EDI programs. Through AAEDC (VOLT Fund), loans range from $25,000–$500,000 at 5%–7% fixed rates with 30–90 day processing. (2) The VOLT Microloan, which provides up to $50,000 at a fixed 2.00% interest rate with a 5-year term, interest-only payments in year one followed by 4 years of monthly principal and interest payments, and no loan fees or closing costs. The Microloan targets businesses with under $500,000 in revenue, under 10 employees, that have graduated a business accelerator program (such as the Inclusive Ventures Program), and have been in business at least 2 years. Grants up to $10,000 are available when paired with a SMWOBA loan (authorized in legislation prior to FY2024). Eligible uses include business acquisition, commercial real estate acquisition and expansion, leasehold improvements, equipment purchases, working capital, business vehicle purchase, start-up costs, franchise financing, machinery, construction and modernization, tenant improvements, inventory purchases, professional services, and refinancing of existing debt under certain circumstances. Excluded uses for the Microloan include adult entertainment, gambling, guns, liquor, unlicensed massage, pawn, tanning, tattoo, residential/transient facilities, non-owner-occupied real estate, startup financing, R&D/new product development, and bank debt refinancing. Regional fund managers include FSC First, Anne Arundel Economic Development Corporation (AAEDC/VOLT Fund), Meridian Management Group (Maryland Casino Business Investment Fund), Maryland Capital Enterprises Inc. (VLT Fund), Baltimore County Economic Development (Boost Fund), City of Baltimore Development Corp. (VLT Revolving Loan Fund), Howard County Economic Development Authority (Catalyst Fund), Tri-County Council for Western Maryland (SLoT Fund/Summit Financing Solutions, serving Allegany, Garrett, and Washington counties — all recognized as a targeted area), Montgomery County Economic Development Corporation (ACE Loan Fund), Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation, and Cecil County Office of Economic Development.

Eligible improvements include widened doorways, accessible showers, ramps, grab bars, lever handles and lever-style sink hardware, railings, first-floor bathroom and laundry room additions, and main-level bedroom and bath additions. Loans carry zero percent interest with no payments required for up to 30 years; repayment is deferred until the home is sold, transferred, or refinanced with cash out (unless transferred to a family member who occupies it as their primary residence), with all closing costs included. Monthly payments can be set up at the borrower's request. If the homeowner still resides in the home at the end of the 30-year term, the state can extend the deferral period if repayment is not possible. Deferral continues if a spouse remains in the home. Maximum loan amount is up to 110% of the property value accounting for existing mortgages (Baltimore County specifies up to 85% of property value); there is no fixed loan cap, and the average loan is anticipated to be around $10,000–$15,000 but can be more. Grants of up to $25,000 are available for senior homeowners who earn less than 50% of area median income and do not qualify for a loan. Household income for loans cannot exceed 80% of the statewide or Washington DC MSA median. The program is administered statewide through DHCD and locally through Area Offices on Aging, including the Frederick County Senior Services Division and Baltimore County Aging Services. Rental properties are not eligible, though landlords with 1–4 units may apply to the Maryland Housing Rehabilitation Program instead. Additions for caregivers and condo applications are considered on a case-by-case basis. The program is designed to help seniors avoid moving to assisted living or other facilities.","funding":{"details":"Between $10,000 and $15,000","minAwardAmount":{"amount":"10000.00","currency":"USD"},"maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"15000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"bcbcccdb-0afd-52f3-9f98-dd0257007c14","name":"Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","allIds":[{"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","status":"active"},{"id":"834b3d8b-c62f-4ead-ac42-2eb43df5aa2e","status":"active"},{"id":"6edab60f-4b54-4d89-9aa1-8ae8083d53ef","status":"active"},{"id":"08e6922c-cc8d-49b8-8a90-5542613d0e74","status":"active"},{"id":"1a3ee814-85ff-4535-a796-a1f4c6864471","status":"active"},{"id":"d79075bb-0c92-4049-80ac-78c330ae609b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DHCD"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Open (no specific deadline stated)"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"}],"source":"https://dhcd.maryland.gov/energy-home-repair/homeowner-repair-loans-grants/accessible-homes-seniors","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Special Loan Programs","email":"DHCD.SpecialLoans@maryland.gov","phone":"301-429-7409"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Be Maryland residents with at least one resident age 55 or older; Generally must own and occupy the home to be renovated as their principal residence; Seniors living with relatives will be considered on a case by case basis; Reside in a home that is structurally sound and free of health and safety hazards; Not have any outstanding federal or state tax liens, open bankruptcy or foreclosure; ​Meet income requirements For loans: The household income cannot exceed ​80% of the Statewide or Washington DC MSA median.

City's community-based development organizations (CDOs) to redevelop vacant properties. CDOs describe their strategy for eliminating vacant property and strengthening neighborhoods within a defined target area. The FY27 round focuses on scaling renovation of vacant buildings on clusters of contiguous blocks, with funds also available for vacant lot redevelopment for housing, mixed-use projects, and green space. More broadly, Reinvest Baltimore is a coordinated state, city, nonprofit, and for-profit effort to eliminate concentrations of vacant properties, revitalize neighborhoods, and improve quality of life in Baltimore City. Governor Moore's executive order established the Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Council (BVRC) to leverage targeted investments and move at least 5,000 vacant properties into homeownership or other positive outcomes — such as demolition and stabilization — between Fiscal Year 2025 and Fiscal Year 2029. Projects must be located in Sustainable Community Areas within Baltimore City, with special consideration given to projects within the Baltimore City Vacancy Reduction Priority Geography.","funding":{"details":"Varies — check official page"},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"bcbcccdb-0afd-52f3-9f98-dd0257007c14","name":"Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","allIds":[{"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","status":"active"},{"id":"834b3d8b-c62f-4ead-ac42-2eb43df5aa2e","status":"active"},{"id":"6edab60f-4b54-4d89-9aa1-8ae8083d53ef","status":"active"},{"id":"08e6922c-cc8d-49b8-8a90-5542613d0e74","status":"active"},{"id":"1a3ee814-85ff-4535-a796-a1f4c6864471","status":"active"},{"id":"d79075bb-0c92-4049-80ac-78c330ae609b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DHCD"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://dhcd.maryland.gov/neighborhood-revitalization/reinvest-baltimore/baltimore-vacants-reinvestment-initiative","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"David Birkenthal","email":"ReinvestBaltimore.dhcd@maryland.gov","phone":"443-462-7445"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Grants and loans to finance:; Acquisition, stabilization, and renovation of vacant buildings.; Acquisition and aggregation of vacant lots for the purpose of new infill housing construction mixed-use projects, and community-managed open space.; Urgent demolition of properties, or the demolition of vacant buildings for near term redevelopment projects.; Other predevelopment activities for renovation and new construction projects.

Eligible activities include housing rehabilitation and construction, public facilities (water/sewer, streets, childcare/senior/community centers, shelters), economic development, infrastructure improvements, planning studies, demolition of blighted buildings, and acquisition of fixed assets and feasibility studies. Funds are awarded to eligible non-entitlement local governments as conditional grants, which may then be used for public improvements or loaned to businesses for commercial and industrial economic development projects. Sub-recipients (public or private entities) may participate through eligible local governments. Projects must meet one of three national objectives: benefit low- and moderate-income persons, eliminate slum and blight, or meet an urgent community need. Over any three-year period, 70% of funds must benefit persons of low and moderate income.","funding":{"details":"The Community Development category is competitive and accepts applications once per year; the Special Projects category for planning, economic development, and special criteria projects accepts applications at any time after written approval, also capped at $800,000 (Planning capped at $50,000)."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"bcbcccdb-0afd-52f3-9f98-dd0257007c14","name":"Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","allIds":[{"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","status":"active"},{"id":"834b3d8b-c62f-4ead-ac42-2eb43df5aa2e","status":"active"},{"id":"6edab60f-4b54-4d89-9aa1-8ae8083d53ef","status":"active"},{"id":"08e6922c-cc8d-49b8-8a90-5542613d0e74","status":"active"},{"id":"1a3ee814-85ff-4535-a796-a1f4c6864471","status":"active"},{"id":"d79075bb-0c92-4049-80ac-78c330ae609b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DHCD"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://dhcd.maryland.gov/neighborhood-revitalization/community-development-funding/community-development-block-grant-program","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Dona Sorce","email":"dona.sorce@maryland.gov","phone":"301-429-7502"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Units of general local government in non-entitlement counties with a population of less than 200,000 and non-entitlement cities and towns of less than 50,000 population are eligible to apply.

families achieve self-sufficiency. Through a statewide network of seventeen Community Action Agencies (CAAs) in Maryland, the program funds activities and services that address the causes and conditions of poverty. Congress appropriates funds annually, and the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) administers the program at the state level. Ninety percent of allocated funds go to designated Community Action Agencies, while up to five percent may be used as discretionary funding for CAAs, nonprofits, and local governments to eliminate poverty, promote self-sufficiency, and stimulate community revitalization. Discretionary funds may also support training and technical assistance.

The program operates through a tiered structure based on readiness, capacity, and alignment with the Main Street Approach: Designated Main Streets (top tier, nationally accredited programs using the full Main Street Approach for long-term revitalization), Aspiring Main Streets (communities completing a two-year training program to build toward accreditation), and Connected Main Streets (commercial neighborhood districts using select pillars of the Main Street Approach to improve local economies). Connected Main Streets receive state support and expertise from DHCD, guidance from professionals experienced in downtown revitalization, access to state grants and revitalization programs, marketing support, training, and technical assistance to help strengthen and improve a defined downtown or commercial corridor. Improvements may include lighting, signage, sidewalks, walkability, façade enhancements, and placemaking elements. Designated communities receive training, technical assistance, and access to resources to strengthen their local economies through historic preservation, design, and community engagement. The program is based on the National Main Street Center's four-point approach (design, promotion, economic vitality, organization) and requires Designated communities to meet accreditation standards. In 2024, the program supported 200 new businesses, 3,030 existing business expansions, 428 property improvements, 505 full-time and 327 part-time jobs created, 45,848 volunteer hours, and $75.2 million in total public and private investment. Calvert County is an example of a jurisdiction pursuing Connected Main Street designation for the Prince Frederick Main Street corridor.","funding":{"details":"In 2024, the program supported 200 new businesses, 3,030 existing business expansions, 428 property improvements, 505 full-time and 327 part-time jobs created, 45,848 volunteer hours, and $75."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"bcbcccdb-0afd-52f3-9f98-dd0257007c14","name":"Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","allIds":[{"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","status":"active"},{"id":"834b3d8b-c62f-4ead-ac42-2eb43df5aa2e","status":"active"},{"id":"6edab60f-4b54-4d89-9aa1-8ae8083d53ef","status":"active"},{"id":"08e6922c-cc8d-49b8-8a90-5542613d0e74","status":"active"},{"id":"1a3ee814-85ff-4535-a796-a1f4c6864471","status":"active"},{"id":"d79075bb-0c92-4049-80ac-78c330ae609b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DHCD"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://dhcd.maryland.gov/neighborhood-revitalization/main-street-maryland/main-street-maryland-tier-structure","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Kristin Dawson","email":"dhcd.mainstreetmaryland@maryland.gov","phone":"410-209-5847"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Local governments (municipalities or counties) and nonprofit organizations with local government support that want to revitalize their historic commercial districts through the Main Street Approach, as well as communities and organizations at various stages of readiness seeking designation as Designated, Aspiring, or Connected Main Streets.

grants for single-family, owner-occupied homes and one-to-four unit rental properties across Maryland. Administered statewide by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), the program is also delivered locally through entities such as Baltimore County, the City of Hagerstown Department of Housing & Community Development, Frederick County Housing, and other county and municipal partners. The program helps income-eligible homeowners and small landlords make repairs and energy efficiency improvements to lower utility bills, improve quality of life, correct code deficiencies, address health and safety violations, accommodate persons with disabilities, and remove lead-based paint hazards. Eligible residents must meet low-to-moderate income guidelines (generally at or below 80% of area median income). Covered repairs include mold remediation, gas leak repair, roof repair/replacement, asbestos abatement, lead abatement, electrical hazard removal, plumbing, structural repair, accessibility improvements, energy conservation, pest treatments, elimination of lead-based paint hazards, heating and cooling system repair or replacement, insulation, energy-efficient appliances, air quality improvements, lighting retrofits, and HVAC upgrades. Loans are low-interest (0%–6% based on ability to repay, with a maximum of 4% under the WholeHome branding), up to $50,000, with terms up to 30 years, and secured by a Deed of Trust. Deferred payment options are available for households at or below 50% of median income; in exceptional cases, borrowers up to 80% of median income may qualify. If accessibility improvements are included, that portion of the loan may be deferred even if the borrower does not otherwise qualify for full deferral. Secured debt including the loan may not exceed 110% of the after-rehabilitation property value. The program is also available to homeowners who do not meet the age or other eligibility requirements of the Accessible Homes for Seniors program. Landlords with 1–4 unit properties may apply, though landlords are not eligible for deferred loans and their loans may carry a higher interest rate and possibly a shorter term. In Frederick County, the program is administered locally by the Frederick County Division of Housing (Ted Helmick, 301-600-3531) and includes multiple tracks: Emergency Rehab Loan Program, Accessible Homes for Seniors Program, Indoor Plumbing Program (IPP), Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Loan Program (LHRGLP), MHRP, and Special Targeted Applicant Rehabilitation Program (STAR). Zero-interest deferred loans up to $15,000 are available for emergency home repairs in Frederick County. In Baltimore County, the program is administered locally by the Baltimore County Department of Housing (410-887-3124). In Somerset County, local home repair loan and grant assistance is available. The Town of Easton in Talbot County also administers a local Special Loan Program. In Montgomery County, local contacts are available through the county office. In Washington County, residents may contact the local office at 301-797-4161. In Hagerstown, the program is administered by the City of Hagerstown Department of Housing & Community Development (301-739-8577).","funding":{"details":"• Maximum loan amount: $50,000 Interest rates: Range from 0% to 6%, based on the applicant's ability to pay Loan terms: Up to 30 years Loan security: All loans are secured by a Deed of Trust Deferred payment options: Deferred payments may be available for loans that serve families with incomes at or below 50 percent of the statewide or Washington, D.

making rental units in the community affordable. Funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and managed jointly by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) and the Maryland Department of Disabilities (MDOD), the program operates as a project-based rental assistance subsidy. DHCD awards rental assistance to approved rental housing projects — not directly to individuals — while MDOD refers eligible tenants and provides supportive services. Projects must receive federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits or State Rental Housing Funds. Tenants pay 30% of their income toward rent and utilities; the program pays the remaining rent directly to the landlord. The initial lease term is one year, and rent does not change unless the participant's income changes. Eligible residents are non-elderly adults (ages 18 to under 62) with disabilities who receive Medicaid and have very low income (at or below 30% of AMI). The program links affordable housing with services and supports, promotes independent living, and provides tenants with resources such as personalized tenant training, transition planning, money management assistance, and access to voluntary support services. Administrative costs are capped at 8% of the annual award. Individual tenant assistance periods are up to 5 years. Cooperative Agreements have a minimum term of 20 years.

funding to support community revitalization goals across Maryland. Funding is primarily used for capital projects — physical 'bricks and mortar' improvements with at least a 15-year useful life — located within designated Sustainable Communities. Common projects include upper-story residential redevelopment in historic business districts, commercial façade improvements, adaptive reuse of vacant buildings, neighborhood parks, arts and cultural amenities, small business incubators, and acquisition/rehabilitation of vacant residential properties. The SRP umbrella includes several individual funding programs: Community Legacy, Maryland Facade Improvement Program, Strategic Demolition Fund, Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Initiative (formerly Project C.O.R.E.), Baltimore Regional Neighborhood Initiative, National Capital Strategic Economic Development Program, and Seed Community Development Anchor Institution Program. Projects must be located within a designated Sustainable Community and align with that community's Sustainable Communities Action Plan. Funding is requested by the Governor and subject to General Assembly approval, so a round is not guaranteed every year.","funding":{"details":"Between $20,000 and

Community Development (DHCD) that closes the 'appraisal gap' — the difference between what it costs to develop affordable housing and the price that housing can sell for on the open market — in historically redlined, low-income communities. The State covers this gap through UPLIFT funding, enabling qualified development teams (nonprofit and for-profit developers, builders, community-based organizations, Public Housing Authorities, and local small businesses) to acquire, develop, build, renovate, and sell quality affordable homeownership housing in targeted neighborhoods. The program aims to accelerate housing production and increase property values, providing wealth-building homeownership opportunities in low-income census tracts and designated Sustainable Communities. Development loans are structured as 2nd lien position, 0% interest during the construction period; homeowner promissory notes for appraisal gap financing use a 5-year declining balance, 0% interest, with automatic forgiveness at 20% per year. Loan cap is $75,000 per unit maximum; minimum project size is 8 units. Developer fees are capped at $50,000 per dwelling unit or 12.5% of total development costs, whichever is less. The program also couples its development loans with a commitment from DHCD to offer grants and loans to nearby 'Legacy Homeowners,' often living in energy inefficient and deteriorated housing. Projects in ENOUGH Initiative or Just Communities census tracts receive enhanced flexibility. Active projects include Baltimore communities such as Orchard Ridge, Henderson Crossing, East Biddle, Eager Landing, and Homewood Valley, with initial deployment also in the City of Cambridge. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis as long as funding is available. Developers must complete a pre-application meeting with DHCD before submitting a formal application, and a $1,000 non-refundable fee is required per project at the time of application. Award limits were increased as of October 2025, with increased flexibility for projects in Just Communities and ENOUGH Act census tracts. Total program resources referenced at approximately $20M (original $10M pilot plus $10M FY'24 allocation).","funding":{"details":"Loan cap is $75,000 per unit maximum; minimum project size is 8 units."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"bcbcccdb-0afd-52f3-9f98-dd0257007c14","name":"Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","allIds":[{"id":"8fedad3d-6e5f-4b39-b56f-6325a4cc09bf","status":"active"},{"id":"834b3d8b-c62f-4ead-ac42-2eb43df5aa2e","status":"active"},{"id":"6edab60f-4b54-4d89-9aa1-8ae8083d53ef","status":"active"},{"id":"08e6922c-cc8d-49b8-8a90-5542613d0e74","status":"active"},{"id":"1a3ee814-85ff-4535-a796-a1f4c6864471","status":"active"},{"id":"d79075bb-0c92-4049-80ac-78c330ae609b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DHCD"}}}}},"keyDates":{"closeDate":{"name":"Application deadline","eventType":"other","details":"Ongoing","description":"Rolling — applications accepted continuously"},"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Rolling basis, as long as funding is available; specific deadlines announced at least 30 calendar days in advance via DHCD website"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://dhcd.maryland.gov/housing/multifamily-financing-programs/uplift","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Brien O'Toole","email":"uplift.dhcd@maryland.gov"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Nonprofit and for-profit developers and builders, community-based organizations, Public Housing Authorities (PHAs), local small businesses, and qualified development teams engaged in housing revitalization efforts in historically redlined, low-income census tracts and designated Sustainable Communities in Maryland, including Baltimore neighborhoods and the City of Cambridge.

The program also builds local capacity through technical assistance and advances restoration science through innovative technology and project monitoring.

A Whole Watershed Act component (five-year pilot, enacted 2024) targets five Maryland watersheds with $5M annually. Geographic targeting prioritizes areas with the greatest potential to reduce nonpoint source pollution entering the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Coastal Bays per the Trust Fund Targeting Map.

Grants cover up to 100% of removal and disposal costs, up to $25,000 per project, and are reimbursable after completion of work and compliance with all grant terms and conditions. Each grant project period does not exceed one year. Funding comes from the state Waterway Improvement Fund, which is generated from a one-time 5% excise tax paid when a boat is purchased and titled in Maryland. The program aims to keep state waterways safe for navigation and protect the environment.","funding":{"details":"• Only authorized public entities in Maryland (i. e.","maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"25000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"42536c33-b91d-5f66-963b-2b5b900a1c0a","name":"Maryland Department of Natural Resources","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","allIds":[{"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","status":"active"},{"id":"c1f3f66f-19bf-4a85-a3e7-345d1f47f0c8","status":"active"},{"id":"d390ba3b-e626-4786-af29-083ae1dbf16d","status":"active"},{"id":"36afff7c-9ffb-45af-88d5-acad7bf052c5","status":"active"},{"id":"a19858de-caae-4dcb-9d71-67b981ec3cc3","status":"active"},{"id":"3de653ec-d838-46bc-b04b-49e94a66b9af","status":"active"},{"id":"1445fcf0-5ba3-4bf2-9a84-363d323a6f02","status":"active"},{"id":"906d2d68-f554-4b2a-9299-646c26454cb5","status":"active"},{"id":"42641978-0772-4845-ac37-6901ed4ac7fc","status":"active"},{"id":"0fb5494c-c723-4214-b5d7-e49f61345224","status":"active"},{"id":"c3801314-d667-41a3-b147-7b17be1838fa","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DNR"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Applications are accepted in July"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://dnr.maryland.gov/Boating/Pages/abandonedboats.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"email":"donna.morrow@maryland.gov","phone":"410-643-6521"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Only authorized public entities in Maryland (i.e. local governments, municipalities, etc.) with ownership, management or jurisdiction over the aquatic lands where the vessel or hazardous debris is located may apply for grants.

Since 2025, the program operates in partnership with the Department of Service and Civic Innovation's Maryland Corps/Service Year Option. Members serve on crews of 5–7 people performing hands-on conservation tasks including planting trees and native plants, building and maintaining trails, restoring wildlife habitat, removing invasive species, chainsaw operation, hemlock treatments, land stewardship, educational programming, and supporting the Chesapeake and Coastal Bays. Service runs from mid-September through late June. Members receive a living stipend, low-cost state park housing averaging $150/month including utilities, health insurance through Cigna Healthcare via The Corps Network (premium paid by the program, covering medical, prescription, AD&D, vision, and dental), a $200 boot reimbursement, a $150 pant reimbursement, uniforms, personal protective equipment, a $6,000 completion award, and a Conservation Steward Apprenticeship Certificate. Training includes First Aid/CPR/AED, 40-hour Wildland Fire Fighting certification, Environmental Education and Interpretation, Chainsaw Skills and Safety, Leave No Trace ethics, trail maintenance and construction, Canoe Trip Leading, and Foundation for Search Operations. The program prepares participants for careers in conservation, park operations, and land management. Members work outdoors in all conditions and may camp for up to a week at a time. Shadow/volunteer opportunities are available from October through early June for prospective applicants.","funding":{"details":"Members receive a living stipend, low-cost state park housing averaging $150/month including utilities, health insurance through Cigna Healthcare via The Corps Network (premium paid by the program, covering medical, prescription, AD&D, vision, and dental), a $200 boot reimbursement, a $150 pant reim"},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"42536c33-b91d-5f66-963b-2b5b900a1c0a","name":"Maryland Department of Natural Resources","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","allIds":[{"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","status":"active"},{"id":"c1f3f66f-19bf-4a85-a3e7-345d1f47f0c8","status":"active"},{"id":"d390ba3b-e626-4786-af29-083ae1dbf16d","status":"active"},{"id":"36afff7c-9ffb-45af-88d5-acad7bf052c5","status":"active"},{"id":"a19858de-caae-4dcb-9d71-67b981ec3cc3","status":"active"},{"id":"3de653ec-d838-46bc-b04b-49e94a66b9af","status":"active"},{"id":"1445fcf0-5ba3-4bf2-9a84-363d323a6f02","status":"active"},{"id":"906d2d68-f554-4b2a-9299-646c26454cb5","status":"active"},{"id":"42641978-0772-4845-ac37-6901ed4ac7fc","status":"active"},{"id":"0fb5494c-c723-4214-b5d7-e49f61345224","status":"active"},{"id":"c3801314-d667-41a3-b147-7b17be1838fa","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DNR"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"nextCycle":{"name":"Expected next cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Expected: August 2027","description":"Projected from the program cycle, not a confirmed date"},"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Hiring target by August 19th; program start date September 9th"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"}],"source":"https://dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/Pages/mcc_application.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Annalyn O'Grady","phone":"443-883-6514"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Young adults ages 18–24 who are U.S. citizens, Maryland residents at the time of application, with a high school diploma or GED (or who will acquire one), who are interested in natural resource conservation, park operations, and environmental community service in Maryland, seeking careers in conservation, park operations, and land management.

communities in Maryland. It operates under the rules of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) with additional eligibility requirements focused on population size (25,000 or more per the 2020 Census) and underserved/low-income community status. Grants are competitive at the federal level and administered through the National Park Service (NPS), with applications coordinated through Maryland's Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Two application rounds are offered each year: a Spring Round (pre-applications due April 15 to DNR, full applications due June 1 to NPS) and a Fall Round (pre-applications due September 15 to DNR, full applications due November 1 to NPS). The minimum grant amount is $300,000 (requiring a $600,000 total project cost) and the maximum is $15,000,000 (requiring a $30,000,000 total project cost). Anticipated awards: 25–40 per calendar year. Projects must be located in a community determined to be underserved using CEJST, EJScreen, or other written documentation. Agreement term is 1–3 years, negotiated per project. The program is described as a 'Recurring Notice 5 Year' with submission deadlines announced through November 1, 2029.","funding":{"details":"Minimum grant amount is $300,000 (requiring a $600,000 total project cost); maximum grant amount is $15,000,000 (requiring a $30,000,000 total project cost)."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"42536c33-b91d-5f66-963b-2b5b900a1c0a","name":"Maryland Department of Natural Resources","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","allIds":[{"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","status":"active"},{"id":"c1f3f66f-19bf-4a85-a3e7-345d1f47f0c8","status":"active"},{"id":"d390ba3b-e626-4786-af29-083ae1dbf16d","status":"active"},{"id":"36afff7c-9ffb-45af-88d5-acad7bf052c5","status":"active"},{"id":"a19858de-caae-4dcb-9d71-67b981ec3cc3","status":"active"},{"id":"3de653ec-d838-46bc-b04b-49e94a66b9af","status":"active"},{"id":"1445fcf0-5ba3-4bf2-9a84-363d323a6f02","status":"active"},{"id":"906d2d68-f554-4b2a-9299-646c26454cb5","status":"active"},{"id":"42641978-0772-4845-ac37-6901ed4ac7fc","status":"active"},{"id":"0fb5494c-c723-4214-b5d7-e49f61345224","status":"active"},{"id":"c3801314-d667-41a3-b147-7b17be1838fa","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DNR"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"}],"source":"https://dnr.maryland.gov/land/Pages/NCG.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Molly Pickel","email":"molly.pickel@maryland.gov","phone":"443-223-4302"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Local governments, counties, municipalities, and eligible organizations in underserved/low-income communities in Maryland with a population of 25,000 or more seeking to develop or improve parks and outdoor recreation facilities.

Administered by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the program draws on funds from the Outdoor Recreation Land Loan of 1969 and the Land and Water Conservation Fund of the National Park Service to conserve natural resources and provide outdoor recreation opportunities. Funds are allocated annually by formula to the 23 Maryland counties and Baltimore City; counties may share allocations with municipal governments. Eligible project types include land acquisition (maintained in perpetuity), land development for public recreation or open space (minimum 20-year lifespan), and completion of the county's Land Preservation, Parks and Recreation Plan (LPPRP). Funded facilities include ballfields, playgrounds, trails, wildlife areas, historic sites, greenways, tennis courts, boating facilities, swimming pools, fishing sites, hunting areas, forests, and golf courses. Development projects require a 10% or 25% local match depending on the county's LPPRP results, while acquisition and planning projects do not require a local match. The program operates on a reimbursable basis; partial reimbursements are permitted and advance payments may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Each year, participating local jurisdictions submit an annual program of proposed projects to the Maryland Department of Planning for review and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources for approval. Once approved by the Board of Public Works, allocated funds are encumbered. Technical assistance, including grant writing workshops and application review, is also available from Local Grants Administrators. Planning grants are limited to $25,000 annually or a lump sum of $125,000 over a five-year cycle per HB 717, effective October 1, 2025.

Acquisitions are evaluated on two equally weighted categories: Land (ecological value, wildlife habitat connectivity, rare or endangered species presence, aquatic life support, forest water quality protection, location within Targeted Ecological Areas, restoration opportunity, and climate change adaptation) and People (public recreation value, new public land access, public beach or water access in access-limited areas, critical trail connections, expansion of existing recreation opportunities, capacity relief for existing land units, coastal community resilience, and educational, cultural, or historical value).","funding":{"details":"Varies — check official page"},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"42536c33-b91d-5f66-963b-2b5b900a1c0a","name":"Maryland Department of Natural Resources","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","allIds":[{"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","status":"active"},{"id":"c1f3f66f-19bf-4a85-a3e7-345d1f47f0c8","status":"active"},{"id":"d390ba3b-e626-4786-af29-083ae1dbf16d","status":"active"},{"id":"36afff7c-9ffb-45af-88d5-acad7bf052c5","status":"active"},{"id":"a19858de-caae-4dcb-9d71-67b981ec3cc3","status":"active"},{"id":"3de653ec-d838-46bc-b04b-49e94a66b9af","status":"active"},{"id":"1445fcf0-5ba3-4bf2-9a84-363d323a6f02","status":"active"},{"id":"906d2d68-f554-4b2a-9299-646c26454cb5","status":"active"},{"id":"42641978-0772-4845-ac37-6901ed4ac7fc","status":"active"},{"id":"0fb5494c-c723-4214-b5d7-e49f61345224","status":"active"},{"id":"c3801314-d667-41a3-b147-7b17be1838fa","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DNR"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://dnr.maryland.gov/land/Pages/ProgramOpenSpace/Program-Open-Space-Stateside.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"phone":"410-260-8985 or 1-877-620-8DNR x8985"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Landowners and entities (including individuals, non-profits, for-profits, and government bodies) with land that has ecological or recreational value in Maryland, including those whose properties could become State Parks, Forests, Wildlife and Fisheries Management Areas, or conservation easements.

financial and technical assistance to local governments and non-profit organizations for designing, permitting, constructing, and implementing living shorelines and other nature-based restoration projects that protect Maryland communities from erosion, flooding, and storm and climate change impacts. Funded jointly by the State of Maryland and a federal NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) Coastal Zone Management Award, the program supports the design, permitting, construction, and adaptive management of nature-based projects that benefit a community, municipality, or county. Eligible project types include living shorelines, tidal and nontidal wetland restoration, floodplain restoration, dune and beach restoration, rain gardens, bioswales, bioretention facilities, beneficial use of dredged material, stream restoration, and other green stormwater and nature-based practices that provide community and ecosystem benefits. Structural solutions such as bulkheads and revetments are not funded. Projects must incorporate climate change data and address future conditions, including short-term (1–10 years) and long-term (10+ years) impacts. For the CY2027/FY2028 cycle, only design and permitting proposals are eligible; construction projects are not funded at this time due to funding limitations. Funding becomes available July 1, 2027 – October 1, 2027 depending on fund source and approvals. Design and permit projects typically cost between $30,000 and $100,000. Previously funded projects may also apply for Adaptive Management funding outside the annual solicitation. Technical assistance is also available for evaluation, design, and maintenance of shoreline restoration projects. Up to 1:1 matching funds are encouraged but not required. Permitting fees are not eligible costs. Community public property is prioritized; projects on private lands must demonstrate a community-wide benefit and provide a landowner agreement.","funding":{"details":"Between $30,000 and $100,000","minAwardAmount":{"amount":"30000.00","currency":"USD"},"maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"100000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"42536c33-b91d-5f66-963b-2b5b900a1c0a","name":"Maryland Department of Natural Resources","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","allIds":[{"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","status":"active"},{"id":"c1f3f66f-19bf-4a85-a3e7-345d1f47f0c8","status":"active"},{"id":"d390ba3b-e626-4786-af29-083ae1dbf16d","status":"active"},{"id":"36afff7c-9ffb-45af-88d5-acad7bf052c5","status":"active"},{"id":"a19858de-caae-4dcb-9d71-67b981ec3cc3","status":"active"},{"id":"3de653ec-d838-46bc-b04b-49e94a66b9af","status":"active"},{"id":"1445fcf0-5ba3-4bf2-9a84-363d323a6f02","status":"active"},{"id":"906d2d68-f554-4b2a-9299-646c26454cb5","status":"active"},{"id":"42641978-0772-4845-ac37-6901ed4ac7fc","status":"active"},{"id":"0fb5494c-c723-4214-b5d7-e49f61345224","status":"active"},{"id":"c3801314-d667-41a3-b147-7b17be1838fa","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DNR"}}}}},"keyDates":{"closeDate":{"name":"Application deadline","eventType":"singleDate","date":"2026-12-11","description":"From the official program page"},"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://dnr.maryland.gov/ccs/Pages/Resilience-through-Restoration.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Nicole Carlozo","email":"nicole.carlozo@maryland.gov","phone":"410-260-8726"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Local governments and non-profit organizations seeking to design, permit, and implement coastal and stormwater restoration projects that provide community-wide protection from flooding, erosion, and climate change impacts throughout Maryland.

long-term stewardship. The program supports two related goals: helping Maryland plant and maintain more native trees through the Five Million Trees initiative, and helping schools connect environmental literacy with hands-on learning. It provides campus planning, technical support, hands-on training, educational opportunities, community engagement events, youth career exploration experiences, and microgrants to help schools transform their grounds into healthier, more inviting environments — increasing shade and comfort, integrating nature-based learning, and advancing toward Maryland Green School certification. Schools can receive free native tree planting support and may apply for grants up to $2,500 through the Community Forestry Catalyst Fund (CF2) for creative school-based projects that deepen outdoor learning, support environmental literacy, fund student experiences, and build long-term stewardship. The program is offered in partnership with the Maryland Association of Environmental & Outdoor Education and aims to increase tree canopy cover, create nature discovery pathways, and support climate resiliency. Public schools are prioritized, though privately funded schools may also participate. Program resources are directed first toward public schools and communities with the greatest need. Additional support includes classroom materials, Project Learning Tree trainings, campus tree inventories, Arbor Day and Earth Day support, Maryland Green School Certification support, summer tree maintenance, hazard tree assessment and removal, field trip transportation, and outdoor classroom activities.","funding":{"details":"Up to $2,500","maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"2500.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"42536c33-b91d-5f66-963b-2b5b900a1c0a","name":"Maryland Department of Natural Resources","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","allIds":[{"id":"8556cb2d-09b9-417a-908b-d05419dbeb9c","status":"active"},{"id":"c1f3f66f-19bf-4a85-a3e7-345d1f47f0c8","status":"active"},{"id":"d390ba3b-e626-4786-af29-083ae1dbf16d","status":"active"},{"id":"36afff7c-9ffb-45af-88d5-acad7bf052c5","status":"active"},{"id":"a19858de-caae-4dcb-9d71-67b981ec3cc3","status":"active"},{"id":"3de653ec-d838-46bc-b04b-49e94a66b9af","status":"active"},{"id":"1445fcf0-5ba3-4bf2-9a84-363d323a6f02","status":"active"},{"id":"906d2d68-f554-4b2a-9299-646c26454cb5","status":"active"},{"id":"42641978-0772-4845-ac37-6901ed4ac7fc","status":"active"},{"id":"0fb5494c-c723-4214-b5d7-e49f61345224","status":"active"},{"id":"c3801314-d667-41a3-b147-7b17be1838fa","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DNR"}}}}},"keyDates":{"closeDate":{"name":"Application deadline","eventType":"other","details":"Ongoing","description":"Rolling — applications accepted continuously"},"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed twice each year.

April 2024. It provides collaborative, science-based grants and technical support to accelerate restoration of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Coastal Bays watersheds through pollution reduction, habitat creation, aquatic resource improvements, equitable public access, carbon sequestration, public health enhancements, and community outreach. A State Management Team (SMT) comprised of multiple Maryland agencies (DNR, MDE, MDA) oversees the program, selects up to five watersheds every five years via a Request for Proposals (RFP), and funds project sponsors to implement a diverse mix of environmental actions. The Whole Watershed Fund covers up to 50% of project implementation costs, with project sponsors required to provide a 50% match from outside sources. Five watersheds were selected in March 2025 for the first five-year pilot period (FY2026–FY2030): Antietam Creek, Baltimore Harbor, Upper Choptank River, Newport Bay, and Severn River. Total FY26 investment is approximately $22.25 million ($11,248,876 state funds plus $11,007,788 leveraged funds = $22,256,644 total). The program provides implementation grants, operations grants, and water quality monitoring grants, as well as coordinated state permitting support and technical assistance. The first RFP was issued October 1, 2024, with proposals due December 3, 2024, and awardees selected by March 2025. The next RFP will be released by October 1, 2029. The program and its enabling subtitle terminate on June 30, 2029 per the sunset clause in the legislation (Section 2 of Ch. 559, 2024 Laws of Maryland). As of the FY26 Annual Report (October 2025), the program is in its inaugural year with 37 projects and 75+ partners actively funded across five watersheds.","funding":{"details":"Up to

is a first-in-the-nation public service year program that connects individuals (Members) with host site partner organizations for a full-time service year. Two pathways exist: Service Year Option (ages 18–24, requires a high school diploma, GED, or Certificate of Completion) and Maryland Corps (all adults 18+, no education requirement, including individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities). Both require Maryland residency. Members serve full-time (30–40 hours/week) for a minimum of 9 months (approximately 41 weeks) at a Host Site Partner organization such as a school, nonprofit, government agency, higher education institution, or private business. Members earn a living wage of at least $15/hour and receive on-the-job training, a dedicated Service Success Coach, mentoring, monthly in-person professional development, weekly professional development opportunities, networking support, and access to a federally recognized, registered apprenticeship pathway through the U.S. Department of Labor. Members also receive a living allowance, access to health coverage and childcare assistance, and may receive a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award to help pay for college, vocational training, or student loans. Host Site Partners are required to provide fringe benefits including healthcare. Upon successfully completing the service term, Members receive a taxable $6,000 cash completion award. Members cannot be enrolled full-time in an education program or have commitments that overlap with service during business hours. Specialized corps tracks include IT Accessibility Corps, Benefits Navigator Corps, Youth Mental Health Corps, and Maryland Climate Corps, targeting high-demand industries such as healthcare, education, youth mental health, public safety, and technology/AI. Members join a national AmeriCorps alumni network of over one million members. For Host Site Partners (non-profits, for-profits, government entities, higher education institutions, and schools), the program operates as a cost-reimbursement grant: host sites pay member wages and related costs upfront, then receive quarterly reimbursements from DSCI. DSCI reimburses up to $20,000 per year per full-time member (working 40 hours/week), out of a total estimated annual member cost of approximately $27,450. Host sites cover the remaining roughly $7,450/year (~$180/week). A competitive cost-share waiver is available for organizations unable to meet the required cost-sharing, with a priority deadline of June 1, 2026. An optional DSCI-sponsored payroll provider is also available. Matching of members to host sites is conducted on a rolling basis after applications are approved. An Operating Partner Supplemental Grant is also available via a separate competitive NOFO process. The program runs on an annual cycle with cohorts beginning in August/September and graduating in June.","funding":{"details":"Up to $20,000","maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"20000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"59a74386-76b6-5040-b4d5-eebb42a9f880","name":"Maryland Department of Service and Civic Innovation","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"d1dbaa92-d731-40ee-9c94-63663e5f390a","allIds":[{"id":"d1dbaa92-d731-40ee-9c94-63663e5f390a","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"DSCI"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://dsci.maryland.gov/hsps/mcsyo","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"email":"applytoserve@maryland.gov,"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Maryland residents age 18 and older seeking a service year: Maryland Corps (all adults 18+, no education requirement, including individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities) or Service Year Option (ages 18–24 with a high school diploma, GED, or Certificate of Completion), including recent high school graduates (classes of 2021–2024) seeking career exploration and skills development.

Victims who suffer physical injury may be compensated for medical expenses and loss of earnings. The Board may also cover psychological counseling or lost wages for psychological injuries resulting from certain offenses. In homicide cases, the Board may assist with funeral expenses and loss of support for the victim's dependents. Emergency and supplemental awards are also available. Applicants must have incurred at least $100 in unreimbursed costs related to the victimization. The CICB is the payer of last resort — all other available reimbursement must be used first. The program also serves DUI crash victims and persons injured while preventing a crime or assisting a police officer. The board also offers victim advocacy services including application assistance, resource referrals, status updates, and hearing support. Application forms are available in both English and Spanish. The program is administered statewide through local offices.","funding":{"details":"Financial compensation for unreimbursed medical/dental expenses related to physical injuries, psychological injury

The Fund awards grants to fintech firms that partner with a Maryland state-chartered bank or credit union to pilot financial products and services in LMI communities. No equity is taken from grant participants and no application fee applies.

Loans range from $10,000 to $650,000 for most programs (up to $2.5 million depending on the program) and must generally be fully collateralized. Specialty loan programs include the Maryland Shellfish Aquaculture Financing Fund Program and the Rural Business Energy Efficiency Improvement Loan Fund.

Maryland. MARBIDCO serves as a conduit financing agent, paying up to 51% of the Fair Market Value of the land only (capped at $500,000) by purchasing a farmland conservation easement option on the property, functioning as down payment assistance for farmland acquisition. The farmer then has several years to sell a permanent easement to a rural land preservation program, after which they repay MARBIDCO the original option purchase amount plus a 3% administrative fee. If no permanent easement is obtained within seven years, MARBIDCO places a permanent easement on the property. The program requires collaboration with a commercial bank or Farm Credit Association for a portion of the farm purchase financing. Applications are reviewed on a competitive basis by a Review Committee that makes recommendations to the MARBIDCO Board of Directors. The program is designed to preserve working farmland from future development while helping a new generation of farmers access land. In Washington County, the program operates in conjunction with the Washington County Land Preservation Office and properties must qualify for the County's Agricultural Land Preservation District program.","funding":{"details":"MARBIDCO pays up to 51% of the Fair Market Value of the land only (capped at $500,000) by purchasing a conservation easement option on the property, functioning as down payment assistance for farmland acquisition."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"71e7655b-c33d-5b90-8e1c-25cac947dbbe","name":"Maryland Agricultural and Resource-Based Industry Development Corporation","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"fa6a60ca-e700-4270-ad6b-8f05ddfaf86e","allIds":[{"id":"fa6a60ca-e700-4270-ad6b-8f05ddfaf86e","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MARBIDCO"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Monthly, by 4:00 p.m. on the last business day of each month"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"}],"source":"https://marbidco.org/next-generation-farmland-acquisition-program/","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Allison Roe","email":"aroe@marbidco.org","phone":"(410) 267-6807"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"There is no age restriction, but beginner farmers are more likely to be selected.

The program is designed to accelerate conservation efforts on farms by recognizing and rewarding environmentally engaged farming practices. Farmers earn points for implementing conservation practices (such as cover crops, nutrient reductions, buffers, pollinator habitats, conservation tillage, natural filters, wildlife habitats, healthy soils, and on-farm renewable energy) and community practices (such as research participation, mentorship, food bank contributions, farmers market nutrition program participation, and enrollment in Maryland's Certified Local Farm and Fish Program). Points determine a farm's certification tier (Certified 40–49 pts, Silver 50–59, Gold 60–79, Platinum 80+), which unlocks increasing incentives such as priority access to equipment funding, grants, tax incentives, lower loan rates, infrastructure grants, processing plant development funding, permit/license streamlining, consumer marketing support, and field trial participation. Financial incentives are being developed in partnership with entities such as MARBIDCO and Horizon Farm Credit. The program framework is voluntary, dynamic, and subject to annual review.

More than 40 BMPs are currently eligible for funding, including animal waste storage facilities, grassed waterways, spring developments, cover crops, stream protection practices (horse and livestock watering facilities, livestock exclusion fencing, stream crossings, riparian forest buffers), conservation cover, nutrient management services, assistance to transport excess poultry litter off the farm, and an expanded set of practices for small-scale equine and livestock operations with at least 1,000 pounds of live animal weight (pasture management, heavy use area protection, roof runoff structures, and interior pasture fencing). Cost-share rates cover up to 87.5% for most practices, up to 50% for interior pasture fencing, and up to 100% for tree-planting practices such as Riparian Forest Buffer, Windbreak Establishment, Hedgerow Planting, and Tree and Shrub Establishment. Silvopasture qualifies for up to 87.5% cost-share. A tree-planting bonus of $2 per new tree planted is available for qualifying tree-planting conservation practices. Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) rental payments are also available for 10–15 year commitments to plant buffers. Manure transport grants of up to $28/ton may also be available. Federal and state cost-share funding can be combined. Single non-waste project maximum: $150,000 (no pooling) or $200,000 (with pooling). Animal waste storage/treatment maximum: $200,000 per project; $450,000 per person across all such projects. The broader Ecosystem Incentives Program also includes: (1) MDA's Conservation Buffer Incentive; (2) CREP bonus payments; (3) Cover Crop Plus grants; (4) Tax Incentives for Conservation Equipment — the Maryland Income Tax Subtraction Modification for Conservation Equipment allows eligible farmers to subtract 100% of the cost of qualifying conservation equipment (50% for vertical tillage equipment) from their Maryland income tax return; qualifying equipment includes no-till planters/drills, manure spreaders/injectors, GPS systems, optical sensing systems, vertical tillage equipment, deep no-till rippers, and installation costs; equipment must have a useful life of at least 4 years and must have been purchased within the last five years for certification eligibility; applicant must retain ownership of equipment for at least 3 years after the tax year in which the subtraction is taken; equipment purchase date thresholds vary by type (e.g., no-till planting equipment after 12/31/1985, liquid manure injection and poultry/livestock manure spreading equipment after 12/31/1989, certain other equipment after 12/31/2012); and (5) Low Interest Loans (LILAC) for agricultural conservation projects. Local soil conservation districts help farmers plan, apply for, and install qualifying practices, providing all technical services at no charge. The program supports Maryland's tree-planting goal to capture greenhouse gas emissions. Priority watersheds are identified for targeting funds, including Lower Susquehanna, Pocomoke, Nanticoke/Wicomico, Choptank, Chester River, Sassafras River, Reservoirs, Patapsco River, Patuxent, Washington Metro, Middle Potomac, and Upper Potomac watersheds.","funding":{"details":"Up to $28","maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"28.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"5d1f771c-0c8e-51d6-a127-a863a49894d4","name":"Maryland Department of Agriculture","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"2b78e1a6-dc1b-41ef-ade6-8d2f6ddf16e4","allIds":[{"id":"2b78e1a6-dc1b-41ef-ade6-8d2f6ddf16e4","status":"active"},{"id":"b500a56a-e0f7-454b-8efc-3778af72e1ca","status":"active"},{"id":"b78c02eb-8c5f-479c-b674-95f3a8f1570c","status":"active"},{"id":"88cead67-7621-44a1-84c2-8dda44aabc9c","status":"active"},{"id":"c0068e36-66fb-473e-b976-bea205acba13","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MDA"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://mda.maryland.gov/conservation/grants-soil-water-conservation/maryland-agricultural-water-quality-cost-share-program-macs","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Jason D.

and Neuter Grants Program, which provides competitive grants to local governments and nonprofit animal welfare organizations to offer free spay and neuter services statewide. The program was established to reduce the number of cats and dogs surrendered to and euthanized in shelters across Maryland. Two grant tracks are offered annually: one for pet dogs and cats of low-income Marylanders (Pet Focused Grant), and one for unowned or feral/free-roaming community cats (Feral Cat Focused Grant). The program is financed by mandatory annual fees paid by pet food manufacturers who register products for sale in Maryland (currently $100 per product per year) — not by taxpayer funds. Funded organizations then provide free spay and neuter surgeries — and sometimes a free rabies vaccine — to qualifying animals through an in-house clinic, partnerships with area veterinarians and clinics, or a combination. Grant funds are distributed in two allocations: 50% of surgery funding plus 100% of rabies vaccine and other applicable funding in mid-to-late December, with the remaining 50% released once 35% of the budget has been spent as verified through required quarterly reporting. The FY26 cycle awarded $1,001,665 across 38 projects to fund 14,444 surgeries. The FY27 cycle had an estimated total funding of approximately $850,000, with individual awards ranging from $5,000 to $75,000. Organizations with annual operating budgets under $20,000 are capped at $5,000; maximum award may not exceed 25% of annual operating budget. Individuals do not receive grant funding directly; they must contact a local MDA-funded organization serving their county or zip code. Coverage may be limited by available grant funds and restricted to specific areas or zip codes. The Spay and Neuter Advisory Board reviews applications and makes funding recommendations to the Maryland Secretary of Agriculture each year, typically at an annual meeting held in August. This is a supplemental grant and is not intended to be the sole or primary funding source. The program does not fund spay/neuter of shelter or rescue animals prior to placement, and does not provide funding directly to individuals. The enabling legislation (Senate Bill 820, Chapter 561, 2013) included a sunset clause expiring September 30, 2022, but the program has continued operating beyond that date based on documented FY26 and FY27 grant cycles, indicating reauthorization or continuation occurred. Must comply with COMAR 15.01.10 Spay/Neuter Grant Program regulations. In Queen Anne's County, households with annual income under $60,000 may apply directly through the county for free spay/neuter services for their dogs or cats.","funding":{"details":"Between $5,000 and $75,000","minAwardAmount":{"amount":"5000.00","currency":"USD"},"maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"75000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"5d1f771c-0c8e-51d6-a127-a863a49894d4","name":"Maryland Department of Agriculture","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"2b78e1a6-dc1b-41ef-ade6-8d2f6ddf16e4","allIds":[{"id":"2b78e1a6-dc1b-41ef-ade6-8d2f6ddf16e4","status":"active"},{"id":"b500a56a-e0f7-454b-8efc-3778af72e1ca","status":"active"},{"id":"b78c02eb-8c5f-479c-b674-95f3a8f1570c","status":"active"},{"id":"88cead67-7621-44a1-84c2-8dda44aabc9c","status":"active"},{"id":"c0068e36-66fb-473e-b976-bea205acba13","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MDA"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"}],"source":"https://mda.maryland.gov/animals/spay-neuter-programs/spay-neuter-grant-program/apply-spay-neuter-grant","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Jen Swanson","email":"jen.swanson@maryland.gov","phone":"(410) 841-5766"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Local government animal shelters and 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal welfare organizations in Maryland seeking grant funding to provide free spay and neuter services; and low-income pet owners in Maryland (household income under $60,000) who have owned cats or dogs in need of spay or neuter services, seeking free services through participating local organizations, including Queen Anne's County residents who may apply directly through Queen Anne's County Animal Services (410-827-7178).

Capital grants are provided on a 50/50 cost-share basis for eligible BNR upgrade costs; small low-income communities may receive up to 75% grant funding. Eligible costs include engineering and pilot studies, design, and construction. BNR upgrades are generally undertaken alongside Enhanced Nutrient Removal upgrades using Bay Restoration Fund grant funding. MDE also provides low-interest loans to local governments to finance the local share of BNR implementation and other costs associated with plant upgrade or expansion consistent with Smart Growth.

The program funds capital flood mitigation projects, infrastructure repairs and retrofits, watershed restoration, emergency flood protection work, emergency preparedness measures, and comprehensive watershed studies. It also supports property acquisition, home relocation, home elevation, flood warning systems, and flood control structures in flood-prone areas. When federal funds participate, CFMGP may fund up to 37.5% of project costs (federal covers 75%, CFMGP covers 12.5%, local government covers 12.5%). When federal funds do not participate, CFMGP may fund up to 75% of project costs, with the local government covering 25%. State bond funds are also matched on a 50/50 basis with local government funds for property and infrastructure projects. The program coordinates with federal Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants (HMGP, BRIC, FMA) and the Maryland Department of Emergency Management. Grant awards require approval by the Maryland General Assembly (as part of the capital budget) and the Maryland Board of Public Works. The program also helps communities establish sustainable floodplain management programs to prevent future flooding risks.","funding":{"details":"Varies — check official

hazardous substances or oil (brownfields). The program streamlines the cleanup process while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, giving participants certainty about environmental requirements and helping them predict costs and timelines. Eligible purchasers can substantially limit their liability for past contamination before buying a property. Participants who complete cleanup receive a No Further Requirements Determination (NFRD) or Certificate of Completion (COC), which provides liability protection including a federal agreement with the EPA treating completed sites as of no further federal interest. The program works alongside the Brownfields Revitalization Incentive Program (administered by the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development) to offer tax credits, loans, and grants for brownfield redevelopment. An expedited Inculpable Person (IP) approval process is also available, and applicants intending to use the property for clean or renewable energy generation may qualify for an application fee waiver.","funding":{"details":"Applicants pay a $10,000 initial application fee (effective June 1, 2025); $2,000 for subsequent applications on the same or contiguous properties."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"934fea97-0cca-572d-9362-d8d9e3f1fb03","name":"Maryland Department of the Environment","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"fc46d2d9-a176-4db9-b4fc-bfb48994c840","allIds":[{"id":"fc46d2d9-a176-4db9-b4fc-bfb48994c840","status":"active"},{"id":"054a5ad8-3e45-4e54-b05f-1aeae71817e5","status":"active"},{"id":"dd88f991-ea72-4f57-862a-32b9c9f8ade6","status":"active"},{"id":"1125f245-faf2-4804-b75a-9c51f870af78","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MDE"}}}}},"keyDates":{"closeDate":{"name":"Application deadline","eventType":"other","details":"Ongoing","description":"Rolling — applications accepted continuously"},"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Rolling/ongoing"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://mde.maryland.gov/programs/land/MarylandBrownfieldVCP/Pages/vcp_info.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Ronnie Anderson, Land Use Control Compliance Coordinator","email":"ronnie.anderson@maryland.gov","phone":"410-537-3455"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Property owners, prospective purchasers, developers, environmental consultants, property managers, HOAs, condominium associations, and other parties seeking to voluntarily clean up and redevelop contaminated (brownfield) properties in Maryland, including those interested in redevelopment for commercial, residential, or renewable energy use.

competitive funding to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks. Grants support physical security enhancements (such as facility hardening and security system installation) and other security-related activities. The program also aims to integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts. In Maryland, most applicants apply through the Maryland Department of Emergency Management (MDEM) as the State Administrative Agency. Organizations in Montgomery County apply through the Montgomery County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (OEMHS) and the Office of Grants Management via the National Capital Region pathway. Prince George's County organizations also apply through the National Capital Region via the District of Columbia. For MDEM-administered awards (all Maryland counties except Montgomery and Prince George's): grants of up to $200,000 per site; organizations with multiple locations may apply for up to three sites per funding stream (NSGP-S or NSGP-UA). Organizations with locations in both funding streams may apply for up to six sites total, with a combined Maryland award cap of $600,000. No cost-share requirement; grants are reimbursement-based. For Montgomery County (FY27 cycle administered by OEMHS/OGM): grants of up to $15,000 per facility for security-related expenses, with a limit of four applications per organization. Eligible uses include security personnel, planning, training, drills, assessments, security cameras, and integration with the Montgomery County Department of Police FususCore device. The FY27 application cycle opens September 29, 2026 through the Euna Grants (formerly eCivis) platform, with a submission deadline of October 29, 2026. For FY2025, FEMA allocated $274,500,000 nationally toward the program.","funding":{"details":"Up to $200,000","maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"200000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"4e58f736-804b-537f-b657-ac90b80e84ab","name":"Maryland Department of Emergency Management","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"7002ca37-740d-4635-84ba-4559dd3f17c6","allIds":[{"id":"7002ca37-740d-4635-84ba-4559dd3f17c6","status":"active"},{"id":"a5ec96e5-60cf-41ac-b088-af70d6a4ec4b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MDEM"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"}],"source":"https://mdem.maryland.gov/Pages/nonprofit-security-grant-program.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Gregory Weissman, Ehsan Bahador","email":"nsgp.mdem@maryland.gov,","phone":"410-517-3600, (240) 773-3344, 240-777-2331"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (including private institutions of higher learning designated as 501(c)(3)) at high risk of terrorist or extremist attacks.

It operates two main components: the Tobacco Use Prevention and Cessation Program and the Cancer Prevention, Education, Screening, and Treatment Program. The program supports a statewide network of cancer and tobacco local community health coalitions, cancer screening, research, and education across Maryland. An additional academic health center component provides grant funding to Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland to conduct translational cancer research — supporting activities that may lead to cures for targeted cancers and increasing the rate at which cancer research is translated into treatment protocols in Maryland.","funding":{"details":"Varies — check official page"},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"d5205023-6f11-552a-9f58-707fa076bb38","name":"Maryland Department of Health","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"3df50e0f-93ed-4097-81b2-76ca8612dcbe","allIds":[{"id":"3df50e0f-93ed-4097-81b2-76ca8612dcbe","status":"active"},{"id":"84c20342-1cb7-4a06-abad-e6ec99f1e351","status":"active"},{"id":"c3875189-f206-43ef-8ebf-ffdce4d26b87","status":"active"},{"id":"bc02ae52-8a85-4313-a661-cd5a1cb4f217","status":"active"},{"id":"cfed96c1-5420-4e65-acda-b6f4c94fbe27","status":"active"},{"id":"974a3776-65b8-4cd5-b4f2-4171ce7009dc","status":"active"},{"id":"b6f1abe3-ab41-459a-aa9a-180f9096ec90","status":"active"},{"id":"166c02a5-ac69-4391-bd59-fe8c8cc24a4d","status":"active"},{"id":"b32f9dcd-7bdc-4131-a4e4-f4cd2598419d","status":"active"},{"id":"996bc69a-2bac-497b-8d11-7dfd8187516c","status":"active"},{"id":"74abeb15-d99c-4f1c-8f93-fa2e395593e6","status":"active"},{"id":"7bcae1e0-f2ce-4189-af6c-55b5501e12a0","status":"active"},{"id":"4ca1ad7c-094e-47ba-8560-de3ac91c8013","status":"active"},{"id":"8a85f9e0-8d56-4614-b0f0-fb9aa6cf9478","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MDH"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://health.maryland.gov/phpa/crfp/Pages/Home.aspx","customFields":{"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Nonprofit organizations, government agencies, higher education institutions, and community coalitions in Maryland focused on tobacco use prevention and cessation, cancer prevention, education, screening, treatment, and cancer research; as well as statewide academic health centers — specifically Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland — conducting translational cancer research.

Operated by the Maryland Department of Health's Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities (MHHD), the program aims to ensure minority community participation in publicly funded state health programs and to reduce racial and ethnic health disparities. Health focus areas include asthma, cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes/prediabetes, tobacco, infant mortality/pregnancy and birth outcomes, and mental health. Eligible organizations include non-profits, faith-based, hospital-based, grassroots groups, higher education institutions, and for-profit and government entities serving African American, Pacific Islander, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, and American Indian communities. Grant amounts vary by jurisdiction size: up to $25,000 for jurisdictions with 20,000 or fewer minorities and up to $75,000 for jurisdictions with more than 20,000 minorities, with up to 18 awards anticipated. The FY27 grant period runs July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. Grantees selected in FY27 may be considered for a non-competitive continuation grant renewal into FY28 based on year-one performance. Grantees are monitored through narrative reports and performance measures throughout the funding period. In FY 2021, 18 community-based organizations in 12 jurisdictions received MOTA grants.","funding":{"details":"Between $25,000 and $75,000","minAwardAmount":{"amount":"25000.00","currency":"USD"},"maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"75000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"d5205023-6f11-552a-9f58-707fa076bb38","name":"Maryland Department of Health","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"3df50e0f-93ed-4097-81b2-76ca8612dcbe","allIds":[{"id":"3df50e0f-93ed-4097-81b2-76ca8612dcbe","status":"active"},{"id":"84c20342-1cb7-4a06-abad-e6ec99f1e351","status":"active"},{"id":"c3875189-f206-43ef-8ebf-ffdce4d26b87","status":"active"},{"id":"bc02ae52-8a85-4313-a661-cd5a1cb4f217","status":"active"},{"id":"cfed96c1-5420-4e65-acda-b6f4c94fbe27","status":"active"},{"id":"974a3776-65b8-4cd5-b4f2-4171ce7009dc","status":"active"},{"id":"b6f1abe3-ab41-459a-aa9a-180f9096ec90","status":"active"},{"id":"166c02a5-ac69-4391-bd59-fe8c8cc24a4d","status":"active"},{"id":"b32f9dcd-7bdc-4131-a4e4-f4cd2598419d","status":"active"},{"id":"996bc69a-2bac-497b-8d11-7dfd8187516c","status":"active"},{"id":"74abeb15-d99c-4f1c-8f93-fa2e395593e6","status":"active"},{"id":"7bcae1e0-f2ce-4189-af6c-55b5501e12a0","status":"active"},{"id":"4ca1ad7c-094e-47ba-8560-de3ac91c8013","status":"active"},{"id":"8a85f9e0-8d56-4614-b0f0-fb9aa6cf9478","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MDH"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://health.maryland.gov/mhhd/Pages/MOTA.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"email":"mdh.motamhhd@maryland.gov"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Organizations — including non-profit community-based, faith-based, hospital-based, and grassroots groups, as well as for-profit entities, government agencies, and higher education institutions — providing chronic disease prevention, education, outreach, and linkage-to-care services in Maryland communities, particularly those serving racial and ethnic minority and underserved populations (African Americans, Pacific Islanders, Asian Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and American Indians).

funds from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The program encompasses two block grants: the Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services (SUPTRS) Block Grant (CFDA 93.959) and the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG, CFDA 93.958). Funds are distributed to all 24 Maryland jurisdictions, primarily through local health departments and Local Behavioral Health Authorities (LBHAs), Core Service Agencies (CSAs), and Local Addictions Authorities (LAAs), to support: (1) primary prevention strategies targeting the general population and higher-risk groups, including social marketing campaigns, prevention education programs, compliance checks, responsible beverage training, and support for four university Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug (ATOD) Prevention Centers; (2) priority treatment and recovery support services for uninsured individuals or those with short coverage gaps; (3) priority services not covered by insurance for low-income individuals that demonstrate improved outcomes; and (4) collection of performance and outcome data to evaluate behavioral health services nationwide. Funds supplement services covered by Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance. Mini-grant applications are also available under each block grant for smaller sub-awards. The BHA Prevention Office provides training and technical assistance to grantees and contracts with universities to deliver additional technical assistance. Priority populations include children with serious emotional disturbance (SED), individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) including pregnant women and women with dependent children, people who inject drugs, persons with co-occurring MH/SUD conditions, service members, veterans and their families, justice-involved individuals, older adults, and individuals at risk for overdose or suicide. The current FY26-27 application cycle is authorized under OMB No. 0930-0168 (Approved: 05/28/2025; Expires: 01/31/2028), with the project period spanning 10/1/2025–9/30/2027 (SUPTRS) and 7/1/2025–6/30/2027 (MHBG). The FFY27 SUPTRS Mini Block Grant Application and FFY27 MHBG Mini Block Grant Application are currently in public comment phase (planning period 10/1/2026–9/30/2027). The FY26-27 SUPTRS BG Application was most recently printed 6/30/2026 and covers an active fiscal cycle running through September 2027. The FY26-27 MHBG Application was most recently printed 6/30/2026 (initial submission 08/29/2025, latest revision 04/06/2026), covering the planning period 7/1/2025–6/30/2027. The FFY27 planning period (10/1/2026–9/30/2027) is currently active as of October 2026, with the FFY27 Mini Block Grant Applications in public comment phase. Annual/biennial state plan submission is mandated by 42 U.S.C. §300x-51; SSP funding must be re-applied for on an annual basis. Maryland is partnering with four new colleges and universities as part of ongoing ATOD prevention center expansion. The MHBG application confirms active initiatives including new partnerships, ongoing crisis system development, and multi-year investments in mobile crisis teams, coordinated specialty care, and early serious mental illness services.","funding":{"details":"FFY 2027 total budget: $34,922,380, including: Substance Use Disorder Prevention and Treatment ($14,997,259), Recovery Support Services ($7,886,510), Substance Use Primary Prevention ($7,115,477), Capacity Building/Systems Development ($3,177,015), and Administration ($1,746,119)."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"d5205023-6f11-552a-9f58-707fa076bb38","name":"Maryland Department of Health","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"3df50e0f-93ed-4097-81b2-76ca8612dcbe","allIds":[{"id":"3df50e0f-93ed-4097-81b2-76ca8612dcbe","status":"active"},{"id":"84c20342-1cb7-4a06-abad-e6ec99f1e351","status":"active"},{"id":"c3875189-f206-43ef-8ebf-ffdce4d26b87","status":"active"},{"id":"bc02ae52-8a85-4313-a661-cd5a1cb4f217","status":"active"},{"id":"cfed96c1-5420-4e65-acda-b6f4c94fbe27","status":"active"},{"id":"974a3776-65b8-4cd5-b4f2-4171ce7009dc","status":"active"},{"id":"b6f1abe3-ab41-459a-aa9a-180f9096ec90","status":"active"},{"id":"166c02a5-ac69-4391-bd59-fe8c8cc24a4d","status":"active"},{"id":"b32f9dcd-7bdc-4131-a4e4-f4cd2598419d","status":"active"},{"id":"996bc69a-2bac-497b-8d11-7dfd8187516c","status":"active"},{"id":"74abeb15-d99c-4f1c-8f93-fa2e395593e6","status":"active"},{"id":"7bcae1e0-f2ce-4189-af6c-55b5501e12a0","status":"active"},{"id":"4ca1ad7c-094e-47ba-8560-de3ac91c8013","status":"active"},{"id":"8a85f9e0-8d56-4614-b0f0-fb9aa6cf9478","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MDH"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://health.maryland.gov/bha/Pages/SAMHSA-Block-Grant.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Alyssa Lord (Grantee Contact, MHBG)","email":"alyssa.lord@maryland.gov,","phone":"443-651-0181 (Alyssa Lord)"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Local health departments, community organizations, universities, and organizations providing behavioral health prevention, treatment, and recovery support services in all 24 Maryland jurisdictions, particularly serving uninsured or low-income individuals.

Secretary's Office at the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT). The program offers grant assistance to local governments, railroads, businesses, and other key agencies to help preserve railroad corridors, support economic development, and foster sustainability and innovative technologies. It is designed to make targeted investments that allow MDOT to better leverage existing infrastructure, assets, and funding programs to support a safe, secure, and resilient multimodal freight network. Grants are awarded on a competitive basis and are reimbursable, meaning recipients pay costs upfront and are reimbursed by the state. Program focus areas include Expansion of Rail Service, Safety & Security, System Preservation & Modernization, Environmental Protection, and Fiscal Responsibility.","funding":{"details":"Varies — check official page"},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"b59b3a6e-9c65-5134-a13b-b5273c2417e0","name":"Maryland Department of Transportation","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"b132bf3c-3f75-4fe8-9631-130f46381de1","allIds":[{"id":"b132bf3c-3f75-4fe8-9631-130f46381de1","status":"active"},{"id":"2f3c29e0-4f94-45e0-b467-5b3dabf8250f","status":"active"},{"id":"1425277b-2537-473a-9066-b13062c2e240","status":"active"},{"id":"43aa6e6e-2ee7-4a24-91b3-53a99baaf9f1","status":"active"},{"id":"602c3cfb-f2fa-4110-a8a4-038796b1fe35","status":"active"},{"id":"bd9ee2b2-0dc7-4f6e-b7c6-a38636366881","status":"active"},{"id":"87d783da-ae97-415d-8cf9-7d6492481928","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MDOT"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"nextCycle":{"name":"Expected next cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Expected: June 2027","description":"Projected from the program cycle, not a confirmed date"},"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"April 1 – June 30, 2026 (anticipated; open April 1 – June 30 annually based on available funding)"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://www.mdot.maryland.gov/tso/pages/Index.aspx?PageId=216","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"email":"FreightRail@mdot.maryland.gov"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Local governments, counties, municipalities, state agencies, metropolitan planning organizations, railroad operators/owners, railroad-served businesses, local jurisdictions, commercial interests, and non-profit organizations involved in freight rail infrastructure and operations in Maryland.

Both new construction and existing facilities are eligible. There are three areas of interest: existing facilities serving general populations (AOI.1), existing facilities serving predominantly low-income populations eligible for 100% project cost coverage (AOI.2), and new construction or substantial rehabilitation (AOI.3). The program funds cost-effective energy efficiency investments to reduce operating costs and achieve energy performance that exceeds minimum codes and standards, with a 'pay for performance' grant model where grant value is a proportion of project cost varying by annual energy savings tier. For FY26, grants cover 100% of project costs for qualified non-governmental facilities where over 50% of clientele are from low-income populations; all other applicants receive less than 100% coverage. Renewable energy investments are not supported.","funding":{"details":"Between $20,000 and $500,000","minAwardAmount":{"amount":"20000.00","currency":"USD"},"maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"500000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"d82a66aa-9da3-535a-aa36-10e40fb892d4","name":"Maryland Energy Administration","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"646d5a46-005e-4551-be00-b85e5bba939b","allIds":[{"id":"646d5a46-005e-4551-be00-b85e5bba939b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MEA"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"}],"source":"https://energy.maryland.gov/business/Pages/incentives/empowermdcigp.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Christopher Russell, Program Manager","email":"ci.mea@maryland.gov","phone":"(443) 908-1767"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Owners of commercial, industrial, data center, and non-profit facilities in Maryland, including businesses (corporations, LLPs, LLCs, GPs, etc.) and non-profit entities operating multifamily residential buildings with five or more units and private educational institutions.

The program aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy costs, and support clean energy and economic development. Eligible building types include privately owned commercial, industrial, multi-family, community, or non-profit buildings; K-12 school portfolios managed by Local Education Agencies; and local government public facility portfolios. The program operates across five tracks: Track 1 for commercial buildings ($48,049,085 total), Track 2 for local government buildings ($18,000,000), Track 3 for Local Education Agencies (LEAs) ($33,000,000), Track 4 for mechanical insulation ($400,000), and Track 5 for community resilience ($4,500,000). Track 1 grants range from $50,000 to $2 million per project, covering up to 65% of total project costs.

The program aims to enhance grid reliability, increase energy resilience, and accelerate adoption of clean energy technologies statewide. It replaces the discontinued Maryland Energy Storage Income Tax Credit Program, which ended at the close of Calendar Year 2024. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis through a two-step application process. The program offsets the cost of purchasing and installing a grid-connected battery energy storage system at residential and commercial properties. The FY26 budget of $2,000,000 has been fully requested and the application portal is closed; the FY27 program year is anticipated to launch autumn 2026. Starting in FY2027, the program prioritizes systems that enroll in utility-run virtual power plant (VPP) pilot programs, providing grid benefits during periods of high electricity demand in exchange for compensation from utilities.","funding":{"details":"Grants are awarded from a $2,000,000 annual program budget funded through the Strategic Energy Investment Fund (SEIF) via RGGI proceeds allocation, subject to funding availability."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"d82a66aa-9da3-535a-aa36-10e40fb892d4","name":"Maryland Energy Administration","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"646d5a46-005e-4551-be00-b85e5bba939b","allIds":[{"id":"646d5a46-005e-4551-be00-b85e5bba939b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MEA"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"},{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"}],"source":"https://energy.maryland.gov/Pages/Energy-Storage-Grant-Program.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Emma Stoney","email":"emma.stoney@maryland.gov,","phone":"(410) 382-1605"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Residential property owners and commercial entities (including nonprofits) seeking to install qualifying battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Maryland; includes installation contractors and project developers as authorized third-parties Available statewide across all Maryland counties with no geographic restrictions or carve-outs.

strategic technology sectors. Originally established as a pilot program under House Bill 552 (Innovation Economy Infrastructure Act of 2023) and operated by the Maryland Department of Commerce through June 30, 2027, the program was reauthorized through June 30, 2030 under the DECADE Act of 2026 and is now administered by the Maryland Economic Development Corporation (MEDCO). The program funds hard costs — such as real property, buildings, machinery, and equipment — needed to acquire, construct, rehabilitate, install, improve, or equip eligible innovation infrastructure projects. Examples include wet labs, cyber ranges, prototype manufacturing centers, sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIFs), and specialized workforce training spaces. Target sectors include advanced manufacturing, aerospace, agriculture, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, blue technology, cybersecurity, defense, energy and sustainability, life sciences, quantum, and sensors and robotics. The program is designed to fill capital gaps that unlock private investment and accelerate the growth of high-value industry clusters across Maryland. Applicants located in a designated RISE Zone receive priority consideration. The program accepts applications on a rolling basis through MEDCO's online portal, with a Priority Round (applications July 1–31, award notifications by September 1) and a Rolling Cycle (applications on or after August 1) on a 60-day review cycle until all fiscal year funds are awarded.","funding":{"details":"Up to $2,000,000","maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"2000000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"bc4b2393-e0f0-5bc1-9595-6717023053b0","name":"Maryland Economic Development Corporation","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"59c2eb5f-c903-4e1f-8241-1082f636f24c","allIds":[{"id":"59c2eb5f-c903-4e1f-8241-1082f636f24c","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MEDCO"}}}}},"keyDates":{"closeDate":{"name":"Application deadline","eventType":"other","details":"Ongoing","description":"Listing open through Jun 30, 2030"},"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Rolling basis;

Awards are calculated based on cost of attendance, living situation, and financial need. The grant is renewable for up to three additional years if renewal requirements are met, including maintaining full-time enrollment, satisfactory academic progress, and meeting income requirements. After two years of receipt, renewal requires completion of 30 credits annually for full renewal or 24–29 credits for a prorated renewal; fewer than 24 credits results in ineligibility.

Rawlings Educational Assistance (EA) Grant is a need-based grant that provides financial assistance to eligible Maryland residents enrolled at postsecondary institutions for educational expenses.

Students may receive between $400 and $3,000 per year for up to four years (initial year plus up to three renewals), contingent on availability of funds. Award amounts are calculated based on the OSFA-adjusted institutional cost of attendance, adjusted for housing/living status and a regional cost-of-living factor, minus the Student Aid Index (SAI), certain state awards, and the federal Pell Grant. There is no separate application — students are automatically considered when they file the FAFSA or MHEC One-App and list a Maryland institution. Awards are renewable for up to three additional years contingent on continued eligibility and fund availability. Disbursement occurs in September (Fall) and February (Spring). Associate's degree students may receive awards for up to 2 years; bachelor's degree students for up to 4 years.

Recipients must teach in a high-needs school (as identified by the Maryland State Department of Education, MSDE), or in a grade level or content area where there is a shortage of qualified educators, including schools where at least 50% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals (FRPM). The program covers substantial educational costs including tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board at eligible Maryland institutions. At a Maryland public senior higher education institution, the award covers 100% of annual tuition, mandatory fees, and room and board for a resident undergraduate or graduate student. At a Maryland private nonprofit institution, the award equals the lesser of: (a) 100% of UMCP resident tuition and mandatory fees plus 100% of the institution's room and board, or (b) 50% of the institution's resident tuition and mandatory fees plus 100% of room and board. Private nonprofit institutions must provide a matching scholarship equal to the State award for tuition and fees (room and board match not required). Students living off-campus or with parents receive a housing allowance based on room and board costs reported to MHEC. Awards may be renewed for up to three years (or four times for five-year programs). The program is open to undergraduate and graduate students, career changers, and teaching assistants with at least 2 years of experience at a Maryland public school or prekindergarten program who are pursuing a Maryland professional teacher's certificate. Applicants are no longer required to be Maryland residents or provide a GPA, GRE, or SAT score.

To become certified, a county or municipality must enact a preservation ordinance, appoint a qualified historic preservation commission, and maintain a system for identifying and protecting historic properties. Currently 24 jurisdictions are certified, including 13 cities and 11 counties. Each year, MHT awards 10% of its federal Historic Preservation Fund allocation to CLGs through competitive project grants (up to $25,000 per project) and non-competitive commissioner and staff training grants. Funds support historic property surveys, National Register nominations, design guidelines, training for commission members, preservation planning studies, and public education and outreach. Certified local governments also receive ongoing technical support and access to periodic training sessions. Grant applications are typically due at the end of February, with awards announced in May. Even non-certified local governments can receive planning and technical assistance from MHT to strengthen their preservation programs.","funding":{"details":"Up to $25,000","maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"25000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"fdb6cd1e-d45e-5f58-a832-d801f6e1d4d7","name":"Maryland Historical Trust","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"53d621e0-f61e-4024-92a2-e1e5698c06d8","allIds":[{"id":"53d621e0-f61e-4024-92a2-e1e5698c06d8","status":"active"},{"id":"b0426d49-abbe-41e6-ba67-7a5acb0293ad","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MHT"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"End of February (annual cycle)"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://mht.maryland.gov/planning-protection/certified-local-government-program/certified-local-government-grants","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Nell Ziehl","email":"nell.ziehl@maryland.gov","phone":"410-697-9592"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Only CLGs are eligible to apply for these grants.

The program designates, supports, and collaborates with heritage areas and their partners to create place-based experiences for the public, preserving and promoting Maryland's unique stories while contributing to the well-being of local economies. It funds projects involving historical, cultural, or natural resources in designated Heritage Areas through multiple tracks of assistance: (1) Competitive project grants for capital and non-capital heritage tourism and preservation projects within certified heritage areas — the program awards approximately $3 million per grant cycle. Non-capital grants range from $5,000 to $50,000; capital grants range from $5,000 to $100,000. A 1:1 match (cash or in-kind) is required. Projects must address priority activities identified in the Heritage Area Management Plan and Five-Year Action Plan. Capital grants must be for projects specifically named in the heritage area's annual work plan. An emergency grant track is also available outside the regular cycle for sudden or unexpected needs. Applicants must submit an Intent to Apply (ITA) form before submitting a full application through the grants portal. (2) Annual management grants provided to certified heritage area management entities for management, marketing, and mini-grants to local organizations. (3) Mini-grants of under $5,000 for heritage-related non-capital projects such as educational programming or planning efforts, administered individually by each of Maryland's 13 heritage area organizations. (4) Loans covering up to 50% of the total project cost based on financial need, available to nonprofits, local governments, businesses, and individuals to create or improve place-based heritage resources within a designated heritage area. Eligible loan uses include property acquisition, development, rehabilitation, restoration, leasehold improvements, and purchasing equipment, furnishings, or inventory. Refinancing is not eligible as part of the project cost. (5) Tax credits of up to 20% for eligible rehabilitation costs of qualifying historic structures within designated heritage areas to support preservation and heritage-related activities. One participating heritage area is the Heart of the Civil War Heritage Area, spanning Carroll, Frederick, and Washington counties. The FY 2027 grant cycle has an Intent to Apply (ITA) form due by February 2, 2026 at 11:59 PM, with full applications due in March and awards announced in July. FY27 awards were issued with a project start date of July 9, 2026; post-award orientation and grant agreement execution follows award announcement.

Loans support acquisition, refinancing, rehabilitation, stabilization, restoration, and predevelopment (pre-construction planning) work on properties listed in or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. The fixed annual interest rate is set at 0.125% above the most recent state general obligation bond rate, with potentially lower rates for nonprofits and local governments. Certain qualified nonprofit organizations may also apply for non-repayable fund transfers (similar to grants) to acquire, restore, or re-lend for historic properties. Loan applications are accepted year-round as funds become available, with transfer applications opening in November and closing in January. The full process typically takes 6 to 9 months from application to settlement. Projects must follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Treatment of Historic Properties. If a loan is approved, the borrower must convey a historic preservation easement on the property to MHT. Borrowers are responsible for appraisal fees, survey fees, title examination fees, attorney fees, processing expenses, and a $250 application fee.","funding":{"details":"A $250 application fee (check payable to Maryland Historical Trust) is required."},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"fdb6cd1e-d45e-5f58-a832-d801f6e1d4d7","name":"Maryland Historical Trust","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"53d621e0-f61e-4024-92a2-e1e5698c06d8","allIds":[{"id":"53d621e0-f61e-4024-92a2-e1e5698c06d8","status":"active"},{"id":"b0426d49-abbe-41e6-ba67-7a5acb0293ad","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MHT"}}}}},"keyDates":{"closeDate":{"name":"Application deadline","eventType":"other","details":"Ongoing","description":"Rolling — applications accepted continuously"},"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Loan applications accepted year-round as funds become available;

A central component is the AiE Teaching Artist Roster, a statewide list of Maryland-based teaching artists who have been selected through a panel review process to provide group or classroom arts instruction and/or performances in educational settings. The roster includes 150+ teaching artists, ensembles, and organizations offering disciplines such as music, theater, dance, visual arts, literary arts, media arts, storytelling, poetry, and multidisciplinary offerings. Roster members gain eligibility to apply for AiE grants (through a separate process), connections to professional development networks, individualized feedback sessions, and heightened visibility through MSAC's Arts Directory. The AiE Grant provides matching funds to eligible Maryland-based nonprofit organizations and government entities to support educational engagements led by Teaching Artists on MSAC's Teaching Artist Roster. Grants are awarded based on the applicant's request, with a maximum of $6,000 per grant. A school or community site may participate in up to two grants per fiscal year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027). Grant funds are disbursed directly to the teaching artist or their affiliated organization. The broader AiE program also includes Poetry Out Loud, a poetry recitation competition for high school students created by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation.","funding":{"details":"Up to $6,000","maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"6000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"73e60df2-601d-5828-b593-eac8f5c5d06e","name":"Maryland State Arts Council","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"9eaeb04f-de1e-4491-8dcd-d5f1be515eb9","allIds":[{"id":"9eaeb04f-de1e-4491-8dcd-d5f1be515eb9","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MSAC"}}}}},"keyDates":{"closeDate":{"name":"Application deadline","eventType":"singleDate","date":"2026-12-05","description":"From the official program page"},"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"FY 2027 AiE Grant deadlines: August, October, and December (rolling basis).

Nominees must be people, places, or traditions located in Maryland that demonstrate long-term achievement in the traditional arts. Awards are not given posthumously, and each person, place, or tradition may receive the award only once. Other sub-programs of Maryland Traditions include Folklife Apprenticeships (funding mentor-apprentice pairs for one year of traditional arts education) and Folklife Network grants (funding regional folklife centers). The program grew from recommendations by folklife artists, folklife specialists, and other cultural workers during a 2019 program revision facilitated by MSAC.","funding":{"details":"Each Heritage Award winner receives a $10,000 grant to use at their discretion.","minAwardAmount":{"amount":"5000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"73e60df2-601d-5828-b593-eac8f5c5d06e","name":"Maryland State Arts Council","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"9eaeb04f-de1e-4491-8dcd-d5f1be515eb9","allIds":[{"id":"9eaeb04f-de1e-4491-8dcd-d5f1be515eb9","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MSAC"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"for_profit_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"for_profit_not_small_business","description":"Business"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://www.msac.org/programs/maryland-traditions/heritage-awards","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Ryan Koons","email":"ryan.koons@maryland.gov","phone":"(410) 767-6568"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Individuals, places, and traditions in Maryland that demonstrate long-term achievement in the traditional arts.

The program includes two components: (1) the Maryland Performing Artist Touring Roster — a juried list of Maryland-based artists with a demonstrated history of successful professional touring engagements (currently on hiatus for FY 2027) — and (2) the Maryland Touring Grant, which provides grants ranging from $500 to $5,000 to eligible Maryland nonprofit organizations, units of local government, and college/university arts programs to subsidize the cost of presenting artists from the Touring Roster. Applications for the Maryland Touring Grant are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed every other month throughout the fiscal year (July 2025 through March 2026 for FY 2026; paused for FY 2027 for a full public revision process). The Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) uses the roster to promote artistic collaboration between Maryland touring artists and Maryland presenters, with the goal of increasing touring engagements for Maryland professional performing artists. Accepted artists are listed on the MSAC Touring Roster and featured in the MSAC Arts Directory, which promotes them to Maryland presenters seeking touring performers. Note: The Touring Roster application is on hiatus for FY 2027.","funding":{"details":"Between $500 and $5,000","minAwardAmount":{"amount":"500.00","currency":"USD"},"maxAwardAmount":{"amount":"5000.00","currency":"USD"}},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"73e60df2-601d-5828-b593-eac8f5c5d06e","name":"Maryland State Arts Council","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"9eaeb04f-de1e-4491-8dcd-d5f1be515eb9","allIds":[{"id":"9eaeb04f-de1e-4491-8dcd-d5f1be515eb9","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MSAC"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"},{"value":"non_profit_with_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"nonprofit_without_501c3","description":"Nonprofit"},{"value":"government_state","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_county","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_municipal","description":"Public Agency"},{"value":"government_special_district","description":"Public Agency"}],"source":"https://www.msac.org/programs/presenting-and-touring","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Laura Weiss, Emily Sollenberger Dobbins","email":"laura.weiss@maryland.gov,","phone":"(443) 326-5564"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Maryland-based professional touring artists (individuals and groups with a history of successful touring engagements) and Maryland nonprofit performing arts presenting organizations, units of Maryland local government, and arts programs within colleges or universities that wish to present artists from the Maryland Performing Artists Touring Roster Statewide — available to eligible organizations and artists throughout Maryland.

The program provides leadership and support in promoting employment, economic self-sufficiency, and independence of individuals with disabilities, with a specific focus on those whose primary goal is independent living rather than employment.","funding":{"details":"Varies — check official page"},"funders":{"primary":{"id":"c4d0eba5-5c14-5113-89ed-c71dd5e451a8","name":"Maryland State Department of Education","identifiers":{"otherIds":{"org:opengrants:funder":{"registry":{"code":"org:opengrants:funder","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-opengrants-funder.json"},"id":"8c4b5714-31b7-4000-86ce-c774022441d6","allIds":[{"id":"8c4b5714-31b7-4000-86ce-c774022441d6","status":"active"},{"id":"e9b11840-56cb-45cc-b4d1-3bc8063e72ff","status":"active"},{"id":"55cec9ec-451b-4d44-a5e4-f9e72e4b327a","status":"active"},{"id":"55dc6a33-3270-4188-9af1-8de68dbfac37","status":"active"},{"id":"ceadf04f-1c10-4e70-b0f9-48b1ebc2b3db","status":"active"},{"id":"2991ab33-6486-4edd-96be-66d0d329daa8","status":"active"},{"id":"67bf629e-5855-465d-bfd2-7c1c8306a67b","status":"active"},{"id":"18a7ffbe-d8de-4175-88a4-5c221735fc47","status":"active"},{"id":"1ee9152a-03ec-48c6-acca-9f01baae893e","status":"active"},{"id":"6d351f37-582f-4eed-b990-a9e76af4fa40","status":"active"},{"id":"2757dcc9-074c-473b-853c-ecffbab0fb18","status":"active"},{"id":"ae3dd7b8-4607-43a2-980d-080aef5f694b","status":"active"}]},"org:us:md:agency":{"registry":{"code":"org:us:md:agency","url":"https://opengrants.io/common-grants/registries/org-us-md-agency.json"},"id":"MSDE"}}}}},"keyDates":{"otherDates":{"cycle":{"name":"Application cycle","eventType":"other","details":"Recurring"}}},"acceptedApplicantTypes":[{"value":"individual","description":"Individual"}],"source":"https://dors.maryland.gov/consumers/specialized/OBVS/Pages/OBV-ILOB.aspx","customFields":{"contactInfo":{"name":"contactInfo","fieldType":"object","value":{"name":"Office for Blindness & Vision Services","email":"obvs.dors@maryland.gov","phone":"410-554-9277"},"description":"Program contact","schema":"https://commongrants.org/custom-fields/contactInfo"},"eligibilityCriteria":{"name":"eligibilityCriteria","fieldType":"object","value":{"details":"Maryland residents aged 55 or older who are blind or have a vision impairment and want to live independently in their homes and communities.

Acreage Next Generation Farmland Acquisition Program (SANG)","description":"The Small Acreage Next Generation Farmland Acquisition Program (SANG) helps qualified young or beginning farmers who face high farmland costs and limited access to financial capital purchase smaller farmland properties between 10 and 49 acres. MARBIDCO provides 30% to 60% of the Fair Market Value (land only) in exchange for a permanent agricultural conservation easement, and that funding is applied as a down payment toward the farmland purchase. A commercial or farm credit lender must also participate in each transaction. The program fills a gap in the original Next Gen Program, which typically requires properties of at least 50 acres or contiguous with preserved property. It is part of MARBIDCO's Rural Land Preservation Facilitation Programs and works with other state and local agencies and private land trusts. For properties qualifying under Washington County's Agricultural Land Preservation District program, the property is considered permanently preserved by MARBIDCO at the time of real estate settlement, with no seven-year pursuit of a separate permanent easement required. Properties in designated Priority Preservation Areas or Rural Legacy Areas receive bonus points in competitive scoring. Applications are reviewed on a competitive basis. Most approved purchases are completed in 6 to 8 months.

MAERDAF provides grants to nonprofit organizations and community colleges to increase their capacity to meet rural development challenges, establish public/private partnerships, and leverage non-state funding. Eligible activities include statewide and regional planning, economic and community development, agricultural and forestry education, and training and technical assistance for agricultural and small businesses. RMPIF promotes economic prosperity in traditionally disadvantaged and underserved rural communities by raising the overall standard of living in rural areas to meet or exceed statewide benchmark averages by 2030 while preserving cultural heritage and the rural way of life. RMPIF supports significant targeted investments in economic and community development, entrepreneurship, infrastructure, rural health, workforce development, cooperative development, agricultural development, rural community development, and regional and intergovernmental cooperation. The Tri-County Council for Western Maryland (TCCWMD) is a recipient of RMPIF funding, which it uses to support regional initiatives including establishing a Western Maryland Entrepreneurial Ecosystem, supporting an EPA Brownfields Community Assessment Grant application, serving on the Western Maryland Long Term Recovery Committee, and engaging with the Maryland Tech Council Rural Tech Network. In Western Maryland, RMPIF funding is combined with TCCWMD's Summit Financing Solutions loan fund to improve access to capital for small, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses and to provide technical assistance to help businesses secure professional services and financing. Together, these programs support the state's five rural regional councils, rural nonprofits, community colleges, and other rural-serving organizations. Both programs use a two-phase application process (Letter of Intent followed by Full Application) and share the same funding cycle administered by the Rural Maryland Council. A dedicated $300,000 RMPIF sub-allocation supports the Rural Nonemergency Medical Transportation Pilot program for interregional health and human services transportation projects. A total of $6,047,464 in state operating budget funds is available for FY2027 (the FY2026 cycle had $6,118,485; prior cycles offered over $9,000,000). The two-phase online grant application opened April 20, 2026. RMPIF was established in 2006 and is authorized through June 30, 2030 under state law, with annual appropriations at the Governor's discretion. The RMC is particularly interested in proposals addressing agriculture, energy, rural broadband, healthcare, youth engagement, and workforce/economic development.","status":{"value":"custom","customValue":"Recurring"},"source":"https://rural.maryland.gov/grant-opportunities","funding":{"details":"A total of $6,047,464 in state operating budget funds is available for FY2027 (the FY2026 cycle had $6,118,485; prior cycles offered over $9,000,000 combined). Grants are awarded through a two-phase application process. For MAERDAF, the maximum grant is $25,000 per award; the historical average has been approximately $18,000. Priority is given to MAERDAF applicants with matching funds from non-state sources (equal match from a non-state source in the prior fiscal year or a documented commitment for the current fiscal year), though matching funds are not required. Federal funds count as matching funds. RMPIF grants cover multiple funding tracks including regional infrastructure, entrepreneurship, agriculture and workforce development, rural health care, and rural regional councils, including a $300,000 dedicated sub-allocation for Rural Nonemergency Medical Transportation Pilot projects. In Western Maryland, RMPIF funding is used alongside TCCWMD's Summit Financing Solutions loan fund to enhance access to capital for small, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses. Technical assistance is also provided to help businesses acquire professional services and improve their ability to secure financing.

Eligible properties can be connected to a public sewer system or have a nitrogen-removing Best Available Technology (BAT) unit installed. BAT units can cut a septic system's nitrogen output roughly in half, reducing nitrogen pollution to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Coastal Bays. BAT systems are ranked by MDE based on total nitrogen reduction, total cost, and cost per pound of nitrogen reduced. Approved systems fall into two classes: BAT Class I (completed field verification) and BAT Class II/Class III+IV combination (under or completed field verification). Eligible field-verified systems include BioMicrobics RetroFast, Norweco Singulair TNT, Fuji Clean CEN 5, AdvanTex, AquaKlear, SeptiTech, Hydro Action, Hoot BNR, and Singulair Green, as well as systems currently under field verification. Total system costs (purchase + installation + 2-year O&M) range from approximately $19,055 to $31,512 per system; after the initial 2-year O&M period, homeowners are responsible for ongoing maintenance at approximately $200–$383/year. Grant eligibility is income-tiered: 100% coverage for household income ≤$300,000/year and 50% coverage for household income >$300,000/year. Senate Bill 117 (effective July 1, 2026) expanded coverage to include drainfield replacement for low- and moderate-income households. The BRF Onsite Disposal Systems Fund is supported by a $60 annual fee per onsite system user, generating approximately $27 million per year statewide. Sixty percent of funds support septic upgrades and 40 percent support cover crops. The program has upgraded over 17,000 systems to date and is implemented through local County Health Departments as of July 1, 2010. The program prioritizes: (1) failing systems and holding tanks in the Critical Area (within 1,000 feet of tidal waters); (2) failing systems in high-nitrogen Chesapeake Bay watersheds (relative effectiveness of 9.24 or higher); (3) systems in the 500-year floodplain; (4) systems that pose a public health or water quality threat. The BAT Technical Review Committee also accepts applications from vendors seeking approval of systems for BAT status and BRF grant eligibility. The grant cycle runs July 1 through June 30 annually (FY27 cycle: July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027). Also known as the Bay Restoration Fund Septic System Upgrade Program (BRF SSUP).","status":{"value":"open"},"source":"https://www.mde.maryland.gov/programs/water/BayRestorationFund/OnsiteDisposalSystems/Pages/index.aspx","funding":{"details":"Grants fund the upgrade of conventional septic systems by either connecting the property to a public sewer system or installing a nitrogen-removing Best Available Technology (BAT) septic unit.

Using nationally recognized standards and best practices, programs are evaluated against standards that exceed state licensing requirements and earn a quality rating from 1 to 5 based on standards in developmentally appropriate practice, professional development, and family engagement. Providers upload evidence of meeting Maryland EXCELS Standards into an online system and receive ratings for each standard area and an overall rating. The published quality rating is available to families to help them choose high-quality care and education. Programs accepting Child Care Scholarship reimbursement are required to participate. Participants at every level receive a road map, training, guidance from regional Quality Assurance Specialists and Program Coordinators, access to local Child Care Resource and Referral Centers, peer support, promotional tools, and discounts from vendors and partner organizations to support continuous quality improvement. There is no cost to participate. Participants also receive assigned Program Coordinators for rating document review, virtual training sessions approved by MSDE, Core of Knowledge hours and certificates, Continuous Quality Improvement visits, and access to the Maryland EXCELS Toolkit and Maryland Child Care Resource Network. Programs at Quality Ratings 3, 4, and 5 also receive increased reimbursement on Child Care Scholarship invoices: at Quality Rating Level 3, programs receive 10 at22% above base; at Level 4, 19 at37% above base; at Level 5, 26 at44% above base. Family child care homes receive 10 at29% above base rates and child care centers receive 10 at44% above base rates depending on rating level and child age. Payments appear as 'EXCELS' line items on the Invoice Detail Report. Additionally, participants may receive quality improvement bonuses. Maryland EXCELS Bonuses are flat-rate payments ranging from $1,000 to $13,500 distributed to child care programs when they publish a quality rating for the first time or re-publish a quality rating of 4 or 5. Bonus amounts depend on the type of program (child care center, family child care, or large family home), the quality rating achieved, and the center's capacity. No application is required — eligible programs automatically receive payment by check or direct deposit, typically within 60 days of publishing the qualifying rating. The bonus program is funded through the Blueprint for Maryland's Future legislation and runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2027. Maryland Accreditation is a voluntary quality recognition program for licensed child care centers and public pre-K programs. Programs demonstrate their commitment to high-quality early childhood education by meeting Maryland Accreditation Standards through a 24-month process that includes self-appraisal, a program improvement plan, a validation visit, and optional technical assistance. Once awarded, accreditation is valid for five years, with Annual Updates required in years 1–3 and re-accreditation beginning 24 months before expiration. Benefits include eligibility for Maryland EXCELS Quality Rating 5, higher EXCELS payments, access to Accreditation Support Funds for purchasing instructional materials, and eligibility to participate in Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood Plus (MCCYN+). Maryland EXCELS also recognizes programs that go above and beyond standard quality rating requirements through Additional Achievements — such as accreditation, asthma and allergy safety training, cultural and linguistic competency, eco-friendly practices, family engagement, health and wellness, Judy Center partnerships, military child care participation, and quality business practices — awarding public recognition badges displayed in the Maryland EXCELS Find a Program Directory. Professional development and technical assistance services are available statewide through twelve regional Child Care Resource Centers covering all regions of Maryland.","status":{"value":"open"},"source":"https://earlychildhood.marylandpublicschools.org/maryland-excels","funding":{"details":"Maryland EXCELS provides providers with a published quality rating (1–5), guidance from a regional Quality Assurance Specialist, an assigned Program Coordinator, and a local Child Care Resource and Referral Center.

Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) grant program is a federal competitive grant program (Title IV, Part B) administered by the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) that funds eligible organizations to operate community learning centers providing academic enrichment opportunities and a broad array of additional services during non-school hours or periods when school is not in session. Programs reinforce and complement regular school-day instruction, target students' academic needs, and provide families with opportunities for active and meaningful engagement in their children's education. Centers must also offer literacy instruction and related educational development programs for families of participating students. The program targets students and families attending Title I schoolwide-eligible schools or schools with a high percentage of students from low-income families. Eligible service sites include Title I schools serving at least 40% low-income students, high schools with graduation rates below 67%, and other schools identified by the LEA as needing intervention and support. Two tracks are available: a new competitive application open to eligible organizations and a continuation application for FY2025 grant recipients seeking Year 3 funding for the 2026–2027 grant period. Continuation applicants must submit programmatic and fiscal outcome data for 2025–2026 and a 2026–2027 grants management plan. Subgrants are awarded for a three-year cohort period (non-renewable; after grant ends, subgrantees must reapply), with a minimum award of $50,000 and a maximum of $400,000 per subgrantee per year. Total funding is approximately $22.6 million (FY25), with 93% allocated to out-of-school time programs. Grants are reimbursement-based; a 15% advance is available for start-up costs. Matching contributions are required (Year I: 10% in-kind; Year II: 15%; Year III: 20%). Grantees attend bi-monthly networking meetings that provide technical assistance from MSDE staff, peer-to-peer support, and other resources. Competitive priority is given to programs serving students in communities with rural locale codes. Subgrantees may not generate program income as a direct result of the federal award, and unobligated funds at end of the grant year cannot be carried over.","status":{"value":"custom","customValue":"Recurring"},"source":"https://www.marylandpublicschools.org/about/Pages/OFPOS/GAC/21stCCLCFY27/index.aspx","funding":{"details":"Competitive reimbursement subgrants funded through federal Title IV, Part B funds, ranging from a minimum of $50,000 to a maximum of $400,000 per subgrantee per year, awarded for a three-year cohort period.

Administered statewide by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), the program is also delivered locally through entities such as Baltimore County, the City of Hagerstown Department of Housing & Community Development, Frederick County Housing, and other county and municipal partners. The program helps income-eligible homeowners and small landlords make repairs and energy efficiency improvements to lower utility bills, improve quality of life, correct code deficiencies, address health and safety violations, accommodate persons with disabilities, and remove lead-based paint hazards. Eligible residents must meet low-to-moderate income guidelines (generally at or below 80% of area median income). Covered repairs include mold remediation, gas leak repair, roof repair/replacement, asbestos abatement, lead abatement, electrical hazard removal, plumbing, septic and sewer, structural repair, accessibility improvements, energy conservation, pest treatments, elimination of lead-based paint hazards, heating and cooling system repair or replacement, insulation, energy-efficient appliances, air quality improvements, lighting retrofits, and HVAC upgrades. Loans are low-interest (0%–6% based on ability to repay, with a maximum of 4% under the WholeHome branding), up to $50,000, with terms up to 30 years, and secured by a Deed of Trust. Deferred payment options are available for households at or below 50% of median income; in exceptional cases, borrowers up to 80% of median income may qualify. If accessibility improvements are included, that portion of the loan may be deferred even if the borrower does not otherwise qualify for full deferral. Secured debt including the loan may not exceed 110% of the after-rehabilitation property value. The program is also available to homeowners who do not meet the age or other eligibility requirements of the Accessible Homes for Seniors program. Landlords with 1–4 unit properties may apply, though landlords are not eligible for deferred loans and their loans may carry a higher interest rate and possibly a shorter term. The STAR Program component provides additional loan funding for lower-income homeowners in participating Maryland counties, offering deferred repayment terms and higher loan-to-value limits (up to 125% of property value) for eligible applicants with a minimum 5-year residency requirement. The Maryland WholeHome Program component offers low-interest loans (up to 4% interest, potentially 0%) and grants specifically targeting energy efficiency improvements, health and safety repairs, and accessibility upgrades, with no application fee and possible deferred payments. In Frederick County, the program is administered by Frederick County Housing and includes multiple tracks: Emergency Rehab Loan Program, Accessible Homes for Seniors Program, Indoor Plumbing Program (IPP), Lead Hazard Reduction Grant Loan Program (LHRGLP), MHRP, and STAR. Zero-interest deferred loans up to $15,000 are available for emergency home repairs in Frederick County. In Baltimore County, the program is administered locally by the Baltimore County Department of Housing (410-887-3124). In Somerset County, local home repair loan and grant assistance is available. The Town of Easton in Talbot County also administers a local Special Loan Program. In Montgomery County, local contacts are available through the county office. In Washington County, residents may contact the local office at 301-797-4161.

The FY2028 solicitation opened July 15, 2026, with awards announced June–July 2027 and funding beginning July 1–October 1, 2027. Grants and loans are funded through the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund, the Coastal Resiliency Program, the Waterway Improvement Fund, the Shoreline Erosion Control Revolving Loan Fund, NOAA, and EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program. The gateway covers six funding programs: (1) Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund — non-point source pollution reduction; (2) Community Flood Planning — reducing coastal and precipitation-based flood risks; (3) Resilience through Restoration — habitat restoration to address erosion and flooding; (4) Environmental Education and Stewardship — watershed education, curriculum, outdoor learning, and community stewardship; (5) Beneficial Use — planning and design for dredged sediment reuse; and (6) Shoreline Erosion Loan Program — nature-based living shoreline techniques to protect waterfront property. Each sub-program has its own eligibility criteria and funding lead. The program supports projects achieving at least one of five defined outcomes related to Chesapeake Bay restoration and community resilience, with a focus on Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bay communities statewide.","status":{"value":"open"},"source":"https://www.dnr.maryland.gov/ccs/Pages/funding/grantsgateway.aspx","funding":{"details":"Competitive grants and loans are available across six program tracks: non-point source pollution reduction, flood planning, habitat restoration, environmental education, beneficial reuse of dredged sediment, and shoreline erosion control loans. Most programs are competitive grants submitted through a web-based portal (https://webportalapp.com/sp/grants_gateway). The Shoreline Erosion Loan Program (SEC loan) provides zero-interest revolving loans on a rolling basis through a Google Form; it offers a sliding-scale administrative fee (3–10%) with 5–20 year terms, limited to living shoreline projects (bulkheads and stone revetments are ineligible). A site visit with WCS is required prior to application submission for the Shoreline Erosion Loan Program. Landowner agreements are structured in two tracks: Form A (in perpetuity) for stream restorations, tidal wetlands, living shorelines, and stream-wetland complexes; Form B (15-year term) for tree plantings, non-tidal wetlands, meadows, and bioretentions. Technical assistance and site visits are available upon request during the application period (through November 15, 2026). Match funds are not required but may improve competitiveness.

It is industry-led and regionally focused, designed to connect Marylanders to employment while strengthening Maryland's economic competitiveness. The program supports unemployed and incumbent workers by removing barriers to employment, creating career pathways to sustainable, middle-class jobs, and addressing persistent skills gaps and personnel shortages across key economic sectors. It promotes collaboration among public, private, and nonprofit partners, as well as workforce, economic development, and education systems statewide. The program invests in strategic industry partnerships (SIPs), coordinating education, workforce, and economic development efforts to train workers and place them in meaningful employment. It creates formal career paths to good jobs and supports hard-to-serve job seekers through job readiness training — including GED preparation, occupational skills development, literacy advancement, and assistance with transportation and child care. Current program tracks available to job seekers include Automotive, Biotechnology, Childcare, Construction/Skilled Trades, Cyber/IT, Green, Healthcare, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Residential Leasing, and Transportation/Logistics. As of the 2025 Annual Report, more than 30,000 Marylanders have been positively impacted since inception; in FY 2025, over 1,700 employers participated, more than 1,300 individuals obtained employment, and approximately 2,500 incumbent workers were upskilled. A BEACON study by Salisbury University found that for every $1 of state funding invested, $19.32 in economic activity is generated. Since January 2025, MD Labor has deployed more than $10 million in grant awards. In July 2025, the Department released the Summer 2025 Solicitation for Implementation Grant Proposals, with award announcements expected in December 2025 and grant activities beginning in January 2026. The EARN Annual Meeting was held on October 28, 2025, providing updates on program activities and areas of focus for 2026. EARN Maryland also integrates with SNAP Employment and Training (SNAP E&T), with 19 EARN grantees approved as SNAP E&T vendors as of 2025. The program supports more than 80 active partnerships across Maryland. Under the EARN Maryland Healthcare umbrella, multiple specific programs are funded across Maryland: the Healthcare Mentorship Maryland CNA Training operated by Pressley Ridge in Towson (Baltimore County); Chesapeake College in Wye Mills (Queen Anne's County) offering Clinical Medical Assistant, Basic Dental Assistant, Phlebotomy Technician, and Sterile Processing Technician training; the Eastern Shore Area Health Education Center (ESAHEC) partnership offering free or subsidized CNA-I certification training at Cecil College, Chesapeake College, and Wor-Wic Community College; 1199 SEIU Training and Upgrading Fund offering CNA, Certified Medicine Aide, and Patient Care Technician programs in Baltimore/Central Maryland and Prince George's County areas; It Works Learning Center offering 140-hour CNA-I certification training across multiple Maryland counties with lifetime job placement services; and Allegany College of Maryland in Cumberland offering CNA, Pharmacy Technician, and Dispensary Technician certification training programs. Programs range from 8 to 18 weeks and lead to industry-recognized certifications with expected wages of $16–$27 per hour upon completion.","status":{"value":"open"},"source":"https://www.labor.maryland.gov/earn/earnwhatisearn.shtml","funding":{"details":"Competitive state grants are awarded to strategic industry partnerships (Sector Implementation Partnerships/SIPs) to fund workforce training programs, supporting training and education of workers and their placement in employment.

Using nationally recognized standards and best practices, programs are evaluated against standards that exceed state licensing requirements and earn a quality rating from 1 to 5 based on standards in developmentally appropriate practice, professional development, and family engagement. Providers upload evidence of meeting Maryland EXCELS Standards into an online system and receive ratings for each standard area and an overall rating. The published quality rating is available to families to help them choose high-quality care and education. Programs accepting Child Care Scholarship reimbursement are required to participate. Participants at every level receive a road map, training, guidance from regional Quality Assurance Specialists and Program Coordinators, access to local Child Care Resource and Referral Centers, peer support, promotional tools, and discounts from vendors and partner organizations to support continuous quality improvement. There is no cost to participate. Participants also receive assigned Program Coordinators for rating document review, virtual training sessions approved by MSDE, Core of Knowledge hours and certificates, Continuous Quality Improvement visits, and access to the Maryland EXCELS Toolkit and Maryland Child Care Resource Network.\n\nMaryland EXCELS Payments reward child care programs for providing high-quality services to families using the Child Care Scholarship program. Programs at Quality Ratings 3, 4, and 5 receive increased reimbursement amounts ranging from 10% to 44% above standard rates. At Quality Rating Level 3, programs receive 10–22% above base; at Level 4, 19–37% above base; at Level 5, 26–44% above base. The exact percentage depends on the type of care (family child care or child care center) and the age of the child served. Payments appear as 'EXCELS' line items on the Invoice Detail Report.\n\nMaryland EXCELS Bonuses are flat-rate one-time bonus payments ranging from $1,000 to $13,500, distributed automatically to programs each time they publish a quality rating for the first time or re-publish a quality rating of 4 or 5. Bonus amounts depend on program type (child care center, family child care, or large family home), quality rating level, and — for child care centers — licensed capacity. No application is required; payments are issued by check or direct deposit within approximately 60 days of publishing a qualifying rating. The bonus program runs from July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2027 under the Blueprint for Maryland's Future legislation; the current active cycle is July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.\n\nMaryland Accreditation is a voluntary quality recognition program for licensed child care centers and public pre-kindergarten programs. Programs complete a 24-month process including self-appraisal, a Program Improvement Plan, and a Validation Visit. Accreditation status is valid for five years (with Annual Updates required in years 1–3 and re-accreditation beginning 24 months before expiration) and provides eligibility for Maryland EXCELS Quality Rating 5, higher EXCELS payments, access to Accreditation Support Funds for purchasing instructional materials, and eligibility to participate in Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood Plus (MCCYN+). Family Child Care programs are not eligible for Maryland Accreditation. Accreditation standards for early childhood programs were revised January 2026; school age program standards were revised September 2026.\n\nMaryland EXCELS also recognizes programs through Additional Achievements — such as accreditation, asthma and allergy safety training, cultural and linguistic competency, eco-friendly practices, family engagement, health and wellness, Judy Center partnerships, military child care participation, and quality business practices — awarding public recognition badges displayed in the Maryland EXCELS Find a Program Directory and available for use on websites, social media, and communications.

Training sessions are announced via monthly emails to Maryland EXCELS participants; providers can also search for MSDE-approved trainings through the Maryland Child Care Training Calendar. For Maryland EXCELS Payments: Programs must achieve a Maryland EXCELS quality rating of 3, 4, or 5. Increased payments are automatically applied to Child Care Scholarship reimbursements based on the program's rating level, appearing as 'EXCELS' entries on the Invoice Detail Report. For Maryland EXCELS Bonuses: No application required. Eligible programs automatically receive payment by check or direct deposit within approximately 60 days of publishing a qualifying quality rating. Payment status can be checked on the General Accounting Division (GAD) website after registering. Programs can contact their assigned county/regional Quality Assurance Specialist for assistance; specialist assignments are available at marylandexcels.org. For Maryland Accreditation: Begin by completing the self-paced orientation at the Maryland EXCELS website. Then complete a Self-Appraisal (with input from staff and enrolled families), develop a Program Improvement Plan (using the PIP form to document goals and improvement steps), complete a Final Self-Appraisal, and undergo a Validation Visit. Optional technical assistance (virtual for Program Administration and Home and Community Partnerships sections; onsite for Program Operation section) is available throughout the process. The full accreditation process takes approximately 24 months. Annual Updates are required in years 1–3 of accreditation (Annual Update window: March 1–April 30 each year); re-accreditation begins 24 months before expiration. For accreditation inquiries, contact accreditation@marylandexcels.org.

It connects climate tech startups with expert coaches, investors, and resources to bring innovations to market faster and help Maryland meet its sustainability benchmarks. MEIA has facilitated over $90 million in funding and supported 120+ participants, creating 175+ full and part-time jobs.\n\nPhase 0 (Pre-Accelerator – Maryland Climate Tech Pre-Accelerator): A training and commercialization readiness program for very early-stage climate-tech researchers, inventors, and entrepreneurs at TRL 1–3 with no prior investment and minimal commercial engagement. Implemented in partnership with the NSF Mid-Atlantic Hub I-Corps team at the University of Maryland. Participants work through small workshops and mentor support on customer discovery, business model development, financing, and commercialization pathways over approximately 2 months. The Winter 2026 cohort runs January 13–March 24. Graduates may continue into MEIA's Launchpad or Accelerator programs.\n\nPhase 1 (Launchpad): Targets technologies at TRL 3–5, engaging founders and researchers over 4–6 months to conduct customer discovery, develop a business model canvas, and create a commercialization plan and investor-ready pitch deck. Provides $10,000 in funding with an opportunity to apply for an additional $5,000. MEIA recruits Energy Executives in Residence (EEIRs) per team to lead commercialization planning.\n\nPhase 2 (Manufacturing Accelerator – Prototyping & Manufacturing): Supports startups at TRL 4–6 that are ready to scale toward manufacturing, providing a $30,000 budget, hands-on MEIA staff support, and connections to ecosystem partners, funders, and Maryland state services to help startups build credibility, obtain seed or Series A funding, and develop a product roadmap.\n\nClimate Technology Founders Fund (CTFF / Phase 3): Established through Senate Bill 0960 and launched in early 2025, this special component focuses on empowering Minority, Women, and Veteran-Owned Business (MWVOB) entrepreneurs with critical equity investments to advance clean energy and decarbonization solutions.

The Wastewater Program provides dedicated grant funding for capital improvement projects at publicly owned wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and related infrastructure, including Enhanced Nutrient Removal (ENR) upgrades to achieve effluent quality of 3 mg/L total nitrogen and 0.3 mg/L total phosphorus at major and minor WWTPs. ENR upgrades receive up to 100% state grant funding for eligible planning, design, and construction costs, provided on a reimbursable basis after the grantee submits a payment request. The program also covers combined sewer overflow (CSO) and sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) abatement, sewer rehabilitation, conveyance system and pump station upgrades, sewer extensions connecting homes on septic systems to nutrient-reducing treatment plants, nitrogen reduction at shared community septic systems, stormwater (MS4) projects by local governments with a stormwater or resilience enterprise fund, and flood mitigation, resilience, and watershed restoration projects. The ENR Refinement Program (launched April 1, 2026) provides 100% MDE-funded comprehensive engineering evaluations for WWTPs 15+ years post-ENR upgrade, plus prorated design and construction funding through BRF, with a new total nitrogen goal of 2.85 mg/L. WWTPs become eligible on a rolling basis as they reach 15+ years post-upgrade completion. The program generates an estimated $100 million per year from user fees ($5.00/month for users served by plants discharging to the Chesapeake Bay and Coastal Bay watersheds; $2.50/month outside those watersheds) and is backed by state bonds. The Onsite Disposal Systems (Septic/OSDS) Upgrade Program uses fees collected from septic system users ($60/year, with 60% of revenues allocated to MDE) to fund grants and loans for upgrades of existing conventional septic systems to best available technology (BAT) for nitrogen removal — cutting nitrogen output roughly in half — as well as connections to public sewer systems. Grant funding is tiered by income: 100% grant for homeowners with income ≤$300K/year; 50% grant for those above that threshold. Sewer connections are funded up to a maximum of $25,000 per connection. Priority for onsite system upgrades is given by law to: (1) failing systems in the Critical Area, (2) failing systems outside the Critical Area, (3) non-conforming systems in the Critical Area, (4) non-conforming systems outside the Critical Area, (5) other systems in the Critical Area including new construction, and (6) other systems outside the Critical Area including new construction. The Critical Area is defined as land within 1,000 feet of tidal waters. Approximately 40% of onsite fund revenues also support cover crop implementation to further reduce nitrogen loading to the Chesapeake Bay. The program is administered statewide by MDE/MWIFA, with the Septic/OSDS Program implemented locally through county health departments including the Prince George's County Department of Health – Environmental Engineering. MWIFA accepts applications for the Wastewater/ENR Program from December 1 through January 31 each year; the next application window opens December 1, 2026. Billing authorities must develop a financial hardship fee waiver plan for low-income households. BRF no longer funds non-field-verified systems for installation under the Septic/OSDS Program.","status":{"value":"custom","customValue":"Recurring"},"source":"https://www.mde.maryland.gov/programs/water/WQFA/Pages/wqfa_enr.aspx","funding":{"details":"The Wastewater/ENR Program provides up to 100% state grant funding for eligible project costs (planning, design, and construction) at publicly owned wastewater treatment plants, provided on a reimbursable basis after the grantee submits a payment request.

The Septic/OSDS Upgrade Program provides grants covering the full cost (100% for homeowners with income ≤$300K/year; 50% for those above) for upgrading existing conventional septic systems to BAT for nitrogen removal (cutting nitrogen output roughly in half) or connecting properties to public sewer systems (up to $25,000 per connection).

Projects are evaluated and ranked by priority; major facilities meeting BRF criteria receive priority funding, while minor and other facilities are evaluated using cost effectiveness guidelines (threshold: $150/lb TN reduced over 20 years). ENR funds are provided on a reimbursable basis; the grantee submits a payment request to receive reimbursement. For the ENR Refinement Program: WWTPs 15+ years post-upgrade should contact MDE to initiate a comprehensive engineering evaluation (100% MDE-funded); upon completion of the engineering evaluation, MDE issues a preliminary eligibility determination; the WWTP owner can then decide whether to accept BRF funding (accepting the new 2.85 mg/L TN goal) or pursue an SRF loan only. If BRF funding is accepted, a new ENR agreement is made. Design costs are prorated based on eligibility percentage. Upon completion of design, MDE issues a final eligibility determination. Then apply to WIFA during the regular solicitation for design/construction funding. For the Septic/OSDS Upgrade Program: contact your local county Environmental Health Division or the MDE Wastewater Permits Program Bay Restoration Fund at 410-537-3599. The program is administered by local county health departments as of July 1, 2010. In Prince George's County, submit an application through the Momentum system at momentum.princegeorgescountymd.gov, or contact the Prince George's County Department of Health – Environmental Engineering at EnvironEngProgram@co.pg.md.us or 301-883-7681. Homeowners should contact each BAT vendor to verify current technology pricing and availability, and must select a certified O&M provider. Review the FY2026 BRF Program Guidance and BRF Septic Eligibility Guidelines available on MDE's website for details on eligibility and how to apply.
