Governor Larry Hogan just declared a 30-day state of emergency to take urgent short-term actions to combat the current COVID-19 surge and mobilized 1,000 members of the Maryland National Guard to assist state and local health officials with the ongoing pandemic response.
From MD Nonprofits: The covid surge has increased the demand for nonprofit services, and at the same time many organizations are struggling to manage covid infections and risks in their own staff. How do the Governor’s recent actions help or hinder you from providing crucial support? Please reach out to us with information about how the Governor’s decision impacts your services and any other support you may need. We’ll collect your feedback and send it to MD Nonprofits.

Survey of Nonprofit Organizations’ COVID Response for County’s After Action Report

The responses to these survey questions will provide the basis for an After Action Report that will highlight the critical work of Montgomery County’s nonprofit organizations during the COVID-19 response. The survey may be accessed at the following link.
The results of the report will be announced at Nonprofit Montgomery’s January 12 Meet Up.
