MORE: Metrics, Outcomes and Responsible Evaluation

2021-01-25T10:34:58-05:00January 24th, 2021|Events, Training Opportunities|

Nonprofit Montgomery’s MORE (Metrics, Outcomes and Responsible Evaluation) program helps nonprofits identify and measure program outcomes. Being able to demonstrate that programs are effective is key to a nonprofit’s sustainability and success.

This specialized training was designed with the input of county funders to help nonprofits learn about effective evaluation. It offers a deep dive into measuring impact and gauging program effectiveness.

Participants also reported an increase in their ability to support evaluation within their organization and an increased confidence around elements of responsible evaluation.

Participating organizations are asked to commit to:

  • Attend as a team of up to four, including the executive director or senior staff, program director, staff member responsible for data or development director, or board member.
  • Complete a pre-assessment.
  • Work on an evaluation plan, logic model or other evaluation resource in between the trainings.

February 23 – Orientation
March 2, March 4, March 9, and March 11

Maryland United for Relief Now

2021-01-12T12:49:24-05:00January 12th, 2021|Advocacy|

The covid-19 pandemic and economic crisis have made it clear to everyone just how essential local government is in helping support and uplift families and communities in this difficult time. The latest Covid relief bill did not include Covid relief funds for state and local governments. As noted by Council President Hucker on our last Zoom call, this will make providing local relief for nonprofits and businesses even more difficult.

Please consider signing this petition to ask Governor Hogan to release funds from the extensive reserves set aside in the Maryland Rainy Day Fund to help meet immediate needs through local government. More information and the petition are here.

Please consider signing and share with your networks.

FROM THE U.S. Small Business Administration
The U.S. Small Business Administration, in consultation with the Treasury Department, announced on January 8, that the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) will re-open the week of January 11 for new borrowers and certain existing PPP borrowers. To promote access to capital, initially, only community financial institutions will be able to make First Draw PPP Loans on Monday, January 11, and Second Draw PPP Loans on Wednesday, January 13. The PPP will open to all participating lenders shortly thereafter. Updated PPP guidance outlining Program changes to enhance its effectiveness and accessibility was released on January 6 in accordance with the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Businesses, Non-Profits, and Venues Act.

This round of the PPP continues to prioritize millions of Americans employed by small businesses by authorizing up to $284 billion toward job retention and certain other expenses through March 31, 2021, and by allowing certain existing PPP borrowers to apply for a Second Draw PPP Loan. LEARN MORE HERE.

Maryland Small Business Development Center is hosting a webinar on January 12 at 1pm. Click here to register.
