The mission of this organization is to unite the women of Frederick County and vicinity who are dedicated to community improvement by enhancing the lives of others through support and volunteer service in the areas of the arts, education, environment, civic engagement, health and historic preservation.

GFWC clubs and clubwomen are the heart of not only the Federation, but the communities in which they live and work. By Living the Volunteer Spirit, GFWC clubwomen transform lives each day, not simply with monetary donations, but with hands-on tangible projects that provide immediate impact. With a grassroots approach that often thinks locally but impacts globally, GFWC, its clubs and members remain committed to serving as a force for global good, as it has done since its formation.
With more than 60,000 members in affiliated clubs in every state, the District of Columbia, and more than a dozen countries, GFWC members work in their own communities to support the arts, preserve natural resources, advance education, promote healthy lifestyles, encourage civic involvement, and work toward world peace and understanding. https://www.gfwc.org/
There are three districts in the State of Maryland. Each is made up of a group of clubs serving their individual communities. In addition, members of these clubs initiate and support efforts, goals and activities of the GFWC Maryland, as well as the national/international General Federation of Women's Clubs.
