We at Nonprofit Montgomery are pleased to be part of the shared space and look forward to opportunities for greater collaboration. Nonprofit Montgomery and Leadership Montgomery already partner together for the Boardmatch Montgomery program. The ribbon-cutting ceremony included a welcoming speech and Proclamation from the County Executive Marc Elrich and recognition from the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce.

It’s been ten years since Nonprofit Montgomery was born out of the Community Foundation from conversations about the need for nonprofit advocacy and capacity building in the County.
We celebrate a decade of impact and new milestones reached in 2018/2019, including:
In 2019, after several years under fiscal sponsorship, Nonprofit Montgomery obtained 501(c)(3) status and is now established as an independent nonprofit. And in two weeks we will celebrate a new office space and training facility as we move with Leadership Montgomery to the new Leadership Hub in Rockville.
On behalf of the Nonprofit Montgomery team, thank you to our members, funders, and partners. It is a privilege to work with Montgomery County’s nonprofit leadership and staff, and to support the important work of improving our community and helping County residents thrive.
