Federated Charities has always offered direct assistance to individuals and families as part of our commitment to Frederick. Each program either focuses on working directly with other nonprofits to develop fundable and impactful programs of their own or deliberately engages the larger community in the charitable work of our partners. These programs often address areas in the safety net that may not be included in an organization’s budget but may make a real difference in someone’s life. Small change leads to big impact through programs like The Mitten Project, Community Table, Power of Change and Rapid Response Emergency Assistance grants.
