Founded with bequests from the Smith sisters for Frederick County residents.
Sisters Ruth E. and Mary E.M. Smith dedicated their lives to education in Frederick County, teaching 42 and 44 years respectively. Mary was the first educator in Frederick County to receive a Master’s degree in education; Ruth was the second. The Smith sisters, through their wills, established The Mary E. M. and Ruth E. Smith Scholarship Fund. Though deceased, the Smith sisters continue to make an education possible for others. Their fund awards scholarships to Frederick County residents pursuing a degree from an accredited college or university, with preference given to those studying education.
Founded by family members for Frederick High School alumni and grants to nonprofits.
After graduating from Frederick High School, Sgt. Smith attended Salisbury University. In 2003, he joined the United States Marine Corps, and later attended East Carolina University. His first tour of duty was in Iraq in 2006-2007, with the 4thLAR 3rd BN, Bravo Company of Frederick, Maryland. He was deployed to Afghanistan in October, 2009 and was seriously injured by a suicide bomber in the Helmand Provence, and died in Germany of his wounds January 26, 2010. David was an organ donor and ultimately saved four others with his gift of life. The fund was established to support students like Sgt. Smith, who demonstrate leadership qualities, actively serve in their community, participate in a faith-based organization, and have a strong sense of patriotism. The fund also provides grants to nonprofit organizations.
Founded by family members to support temporary assistance to veterans in Frederick County.
This fund was established in memory of Sgt. David James Smith 11 years after his death in Afghanistan and 10 years after establishing the Sgt. David J. Smith Memorial Golf Tournament. In the spirit of who David was, the fund supports emergency relief assistance for Frederick County veterans. Frederick is the city David loved, along with his service to the Marine Corps. It is fitting to give back to the men and women of this county who willingly gave of themselves for us.
