About Us
The Bolduc Family Foundation was established by Evelyn and JP Bolduc and family as a lasting expression of their Catholic faith and deep commitment to service. Guided by the belief that we are called to care for one another, the Foundation directs its resources toward healthcare, education, and the life of the Catholic Church; investing in organizations and individuals who share that same spirit of generosity and hope. We are honored to support communities in Maryland and beyond, and to carry on a tradition of stewardship that puts people at the center of everything we do.
Grants
The Bolduc Family Foundation accepts grant requests from qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations whose work aligns with our mission to advance healthcare, education, and the Catholic Church. Organizations seeking funding should submit a written proposal that includes a brief overview of the organization and its mission, the purpose of the funding request, the amount requested, the anticipated impact of the grant, and a project timeline, if applicable. Please also include your organization’s IRS determination letter, recent financial statements or annual budget, a list of key leadership or board members, and contact information for the primary point of contact. Grant proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis, and funding decisions are made at the discretion of the Foundation based on mission alignment, demonstrated need, organizational capacity, and the potential for meaningful community impact. Due to the volume of requests we receive, we are unable to fund every worthy proposal or provide individual feedback on declined applications.
