Nonprofit Resources

Your membership in Nonprofit Montgomery matters, as we are only as strong as our alliance.  And your organization needs to be counted in that collective voice. Please renew your membership today for the 2016-2017 membership year.

Thanks to your support, it has been a successful year of advocacy, programs, capacity-building, and visibility for the nonprofit sector here in Montgomery County.

Among this year’s successes:

• Two sessions of the FIRM Financial Leadership Institute
• Three FIRM Alumni sessions: working with the county, working with funders, and cybersecurity
• Directors Dialogue
• 7th Annual Budget and Policy Debrief (RSVP here)
• Ongoing workforce development nonprofit convenings (RSVP for the next one 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

Renewing your membership online is easy. Nonprofit Montgomery’s reasonable membership dues are based on the size of your organization’s budget, and there is a $25 early bird discount if you join by July 31.

New policy changes coming this summer may have the potential to affect the costs and operations of nonprofit organizations that have government grants and contracts. The policy changes involve the expected publication of the Labor Department’s revised overtime regulations and potential revisions to the OMB Uniform Guidance affecting how nonprofits spend grant funds. To help improve policies and/or develop solutions to avoid potential adverse impacts, the nonprofit sector needs to produce data. Greater input from a broad cross-section of the nonprofit community will produce better policies and solutions. Take the survey today.
