We would like to thank the Nonprofit Montgomery Board of Directors for their hard work and dedication.
We appreciate their tireless commitment to our work and the nonprofit sector.

Dear Members, Partners, and Supporters,

As this challenging year draws to a close, we at Nonprofit Montgomery want to take a moment to wish you a restorative holiday season. To say 2020 was an unprecedented year, unlike anything we’ve seen, is an understatement. Thank you for your adaptability, hard work, dedication, and commitment to Montgomery County. We are truly in awe of how our sector stepped up, ramped up, pivoted, and retooled to meet community needs.

It has been a pleasure and a privilege to support all of our members—the county’s nonprofit community.

As 2021 approaches, we look forward to continuing this work together and, hopefully, in-person. Warmest wishes for a happy, safe, and healthy holiday season!

With thanks,
The Nonprofit Montgomery & Montgomery Moving Forward Team

The remaining $5 million in the Fund for Black-led Change will be reserved to support infrastructure and capacity building and other programming at the direction of the Black-led organizations’ stated needs.

Did you miss last month’s session on burnout? Not to worry, we brought it back for December. This session got rave reviews when we offered it in October. The holidays are a difficult time for many in a “normal” year and this year is anything but normal.

Join us for a practical, honest conversation about the bottom line cost of burnout, along with the insights on how to actually integrate best practices in your organization in a way that is affordable and possible.

The goals of the session:

• Make a financial case based on your budget to justify prioritizing mental health of yourself and your team that can be shared internally or with select funders
• Highlight best practices for responding to burnout
• Discuss the warning signs of burnout
• Create a safe, community conversation for Executive Directors/CEOs
• Highlight additional wellness resources for leaders
