COVID-19 Donations

Newly Created Charitable Funds

Frederick Health has established two charitable funds in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:

The Frederick Health COVID-19 Hospital Support Fund - enables the public to provide financial resources to help the hospital respond to critical operating needs during the COVID-19 crisis.
The Frederick Health COVID-19 Employee Relief Fund - enables the public to provide financial assistance to our employees who are experiencing a personal financial hardship due to the COVID-19 crisis. Frederick Health employees can continue to support fellow employees in need through the Angel Fund, an internal employee-to-employee assistance fund established in 2009.

Contributions to both COVID-19 funds can be made online at www.frederickhealth.org/donatenow or by mailing a check to Frederick Health Development Office, 405 W. 7th St, Frederick, MD 21701.

Frederick Health Hospital is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization and all gifts are tax deductible as allowed by law.

Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please reach out to the Development Team at donate@frederick.health.
