June 30 marks the end of Nonprofit Montgomery’s 2015-2016 membership year. Thanks to the support of our members and funding partners, it has been a successful year of advocacy, programs, capacity-building, and visibility for the nonprofit sector here in Montgomery County.

- Three FIRM Alumni programs: Working with the County, Working with Funders, and Cybersecurity
- Directors’ Dialogue: a community conversation on County budget and policy priorities with Directors of key Montgomery County departments
- 7th Annual Budget and Policy Debrief: an opportunity for nonprofit leaders to hear about the County budget process from elected officials
- Workforce development nonprofit convenings. RSVP here.
- Advocacy to the County Council for a 2% increase to base budget contracts and an increased commitment to county grants
- Health and Human Services Advisory Committee meetings, which provided feedback on “rounding pennies,” background checks, and procurement policies
