Mission & Focus Areas
UMMS’s stated mission includes compassionate, high-quality care; commitment to community; health care transformation; and discovery-based medicine. Its website says Community Impact Grants fund programs that directly affect Marylanders’ health and wellness, dismantle barriers to health, or improve safety and overall wellness. Programs must align with Community Health Needs Assessment priorities: chronic disease and risk-factor prevention, behavioral health, access to care, community and family safety, and social drivers of health.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit community organizations and 501(c)(3) public charities serving the same communities as UMMS. Organizations need not have a health-focused mission; cultural, civic, and educational organizations are also encouraged to apply when proposals meet the guidelines.
The 2025 recipients show support for a range of organizations. For example, Baltimore Community Lending describes its mission as strengthening underserved Greater Baltimore communities through financial solutions and collaborative resources. Southwest Partnership says it facilitates implementation of a community vision plan, while Live Baltimore Home Center describes its mission as recruiting and retaining Baltimore City residents. Health-focused recipients include the American Heart Association, whose stated mission is promoting longer, healthier lives, and Kennedy Krieger Institute, which says it helps children and adolescents with brain disorders achieve their potential.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, UMMS reported 32 grants totaling $2,156,965. Grant amounts ranged from $6,000 to $986,932, with a median of $10,250.

Other listed awards included $50,000 each to Ronald McDonald House – Baltimore and Junior Achievement of Central Maryland, both for sponsorships.
UMMS offers both Community Impact Grants and event sponsorships. Its website states that the Community Impact Grant application is open August 1–October 14, 2026, with approved funds to be released in January 2027. Sponsorship requests may be considered for events such as nonprofit fundraising galas, health fairs, community outreach events, and youth development or educational events.
