We believe in giving back. At MCC, we've partnered with charities in the past to raise money. Here are two charities we believe in strongly, and volunteer our time with - if you'd like to help us give back, please consider a tax-deductible donation to one or both of these non-profit organizations serving the eastern shore of Maryland!
Community Mediation Upper Shore, Inc (CMUS) is a 501c3 non-profit located in Chestertown. CMUS serves the eastern shore’s Queen Anne’s and Kent Counties, providing free mediation services to all residents.
Community mediation is a facilitation process that empowers two people in conflict to work together to negotiate, document and implement plans to resolve their conflict, without attorneys and before issues escalate to law enforcement.
CMUS is funded exclusively through government grants and private donations, and we charge nothing for our services.
CBEC (legally known as The Wildfowl Trust of North America Inc.) was founded in 1979 with the intent to protect wetlands for waterfowl while maintaining captive waterfowl collections for educational purposes. In 1981 the Trust purchased a 315-acre farm tract in Grasonville, Maryland on which it initially established Horsehead Wetlands Center and opened to the public in 1985. In 1998 the trust purchased an additional 195 acres and placed the now 510-acre preserve under conservation easement. The name changed in 2003 to the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center with a focus on habitat restoration and education.
At CBEC, our mission is to create healthier communities by connecting people to nature through adventure-based learning that contributes to the conservation of the Chesapeake Bay.
