Nonprofit Montgomery Community Grants Dialogue

2019-10-23T13:02:29-04:00October 13th, 2019|Events, Grants & Funding|

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear first hand about proposed changes to the County’s community grants process at our annual Grants Dialogue. In FY20 the Montgomery County Council approved $14.5 million for 335 community grants to local nonprofit partners providing services for County residents (including the County Executive and County Council grants).

Nonprofits have come to rely on community grants to expand and support essential services, and to innovate new services. Following an OLO Report on Community Grants in 2018 the Council committed to recommending changes to the program. This Community Grant Dialogue is an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on proposed changes before they are finalized.

With:
Carolyn Chen, Montgomery County Council Grants Manager
Joshua Watters, Budget Manager, Montgomery County Office of Management and Budget

When: Tuesday, November 5, from 9-10:30am

This community of practice includes an online moderated discussion and quarterly gatherings for network members.

Strategy Screens Workshop

2019-09-30T09:15:28-04:00September 29th, 2019|Events, Training Opportunities|

Are we investing our resources into the right programs?

Answering this question is the keystone to advancing community benefit and building financial health. This workshop explores the process of screening programs against your desired community outcomes so that you can determine the best portfolio of programs to carry forward into your next budgeting and strategy window. The process builds organizational integrity and sets the stage for more sophisticated financial analysis of the work that you do.

Participants should come with both a list of organizational programs/effort and a list of general community outcomes your organization seeks to advance.

When: Thursday, October 17, 9-11am
Where: The Leadership Hub, 6010 Executive Blvd, Suite 200, Rockville, MD 20852
