On January 31 at a reception attended by nonprofit leaders, County Council members and their staff and other government leaders, we released  “A New Vision for Nonprofit and Government Collaboration,” a document developed from those meetings.

The vision document outlines how nonprofits and government can continue to work together to make Montgomery County a place where all residents can thrive.  The vision document calls on government partners to involve nonprofit leaders in decision making, emphasize resident-centered services, prioritize impact over output, foster collaboration over competition, and support a sustainable nonprofit sector. It has been endorsed by 50 nonprofit organizations.

To learn more about the vision and how your organization can help support it, contact us.

County Executive Marc Elrich is holding two final budget forums  to seek input from residents about Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Budget priorities.
Thursday (SNOW DATE), Jan. 31 – 7 p.m. – BlackRock Center for the Arts, 12901 Town Commons Dr. Germantown
Monday, Feb. 4 – 7 p.m. – Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, 4301 East West Hwy, Bethesda

The County Executive will announce his recommended FY20 Operating Budget on March 15 and the County Council approves the operating budget at the end of May.

Our partners in County government are very concerned about the impact of the federal government shut down on county residents and the nonprofit organizations that serve them.Please let us know if your organization is feeling the impact – increased demands for services, concerns about federal grants, etc. Nonprofit Montgomery will compile the data and communicate nonprofit needs to County leaders. Email lesley@nonprofitmoco.org as soon as possible with your concerns.

For more information on services throughout the area, visit the County’s Federal Shutdown Assistance Portal.

We’d also like to recognize our local nonprofits, who are going above and beyond during this time.
