Clayton Michael Knode Scholarship
His smile is warm; his laughter is contagious, and his blue eyes are unforgettable. He loves to hug and
according to so many, he gives the best hugs. He is kind, always asking his mom and dad how their
day was and taking the time for just about anyone to provide encouragement and love. He loves and
loves and loves. He is a child of God. He is beautiful and will remain perfect. He will always be our son,
our grandchild, our friend, our brother, our teammate. Clayton Michael Knode joined God’s team on
August 25, 2022. Always asking “How was your day?”, Clayton would unquestionably love to see this
fund grow to make a difference in the lives of so many others. – from parents, Kelly Weaver
and Eric Knode
Jodi L. Smith Readers to Leaders Scholarship
We opened the account with the Community Foundation of Washington County after losing my sister
and great educator, Jodi L. Smith, in 2022. Jodi’s coworkers and family created the scholarship with
the Community Foundation of Washington County because it was easily accessible and the funds
stayed within the community that Jodi taught in. The staff at the foundation are great to work with,
and always readily available to answer questions. I’m so happy we have a place to use as a third-party
to create this great scholarship for Jodi. Thank you. – Jamie Bartolo
Karen Dee and Thomas Allen Grosh Fund
Karen and I decided that 2022 was the time to build on the blessings that have been given to us by
God and on our business, Grosh’s Lawn Service, by starting the Karen Dee and Thomas Allen Grosh
Fund. With the low minimum required to start a fund, we believed that the Community Foundation
of Washington County MD, Inc. was our best option. The staff at the Community Foundation of
Washington County MD, Inc. was so easy to work with and guided us through everything which made
for a very pleasant experience. Thank you to everyone! We have planted our ‘mustard seed’ to make
Washington County MD a place with a bright future and caring community. – Thomas Grosh
Literacy Council of Washington County
Without funding from the Community Foundation of Washington County, our non-profit would not
be as effective in the surrounding communities as it is today. Your organization has been influential
in allowing us to reach those who need our volunteer services. Thank you for your contribution to our
non-profit mission and outreach.” – Leah Green, Executive Director of Literacy Council of
Washington County.
