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
Over the next five years, the Meyer Foundation will distribute $15 million in multi-year, general operating grants to Black-led power-building, organizing, and advocacy organizations, beginning with a cohort of current Meyer Foundation partners. 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.
The County is hosting a Nonprofit Town Hall on January 7 from 9:30 to 11 a.m. The County has invited the County Executive, and Councilmembers Hucker and Albornoz. We’ll send out more information as soon as we receive it from the County.
According to presentations by Council President Hucker and Rafael Murphy (OMB), projections show that FY22 tax-supported revenues are $163.2 million less than the approved FY21-26 Fiscal Plan. The greatest decline is in income tax revenue.
Programs funded through FY21 Community Grants will not need to reapply for funding in FY22. The County will forgo an FY22 Community Grants application to reduce the administrative burden on nonprofits.
