This year, as a cornerstone to the SECU Kindness Campaign, the SECU MD Foundation awarded grants to community-based organizations across Maryland that help empower individuals to achieve personal and financial wellness. Their tireless work throughout the year provides innovative, multi-faceted programming that helps our fellow Marylanders access financial resources and opportunities and build the skills needed to thrive.
This year’s applicants showcased the best of Maryland. These were organizations that led with their hearts to support individuals and uplift communities. We thank every organization that applied and applaud the work you’re doing.
