Rolling Grants

The Health Fund for Frederick County Youth - this fund provides grants that support organizations providing services to Frederick County youth under the age of 18 who have extraordinary and/or life-threatening medical needs. The grant may be used to pay for equipment or surgery related to birth defects, and/or other medical expenses not reimbursed or covered through insurance. The grant cannot be used to pay for routine services or supplement payment for services partially covered by other agencies.
