Gutierrez Memorial Fund (GMF) is committed to supporting the arts in Maryland by providing grants to dedicated arts programs, individual artists, artisans and educators whose work focuses on artisan training, community building, and enhancing our physical environment. GMF fosters visionaries with new ideas by funding emerging artists and newly established organizations that may be challenged to find traditional funding and where the GMF will make a significant difference. Raising the quality of life through the arts and transforming the built environment are key components in the work of those we fund.
