Urgent! Survey for Nonprofits with Government Grants and Contracts

2017-06-29T14:19:16-04:00May 14th, 2016|Action Alerts, Nonprofit Resources|

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. Please take the survey today.

Nonprofit Montgomery’s ICYMI Cybersecurity

2019-01-07T15:21:48-05:00May 13th, 2016|Events, Nonprofit Resources|

As part of our final FIRM Alumni Session for the season, we invited local experts to speak about cybersecurity and how it affects nonprofits in Montgomery County. We’ve created an ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) with some of the highlights from the session, including: insurance requirements for county nonprofits, why you need a Written Information Security Plan, and the five areas to focus on in your organization.

Interested in learning more about this topic? One Nonprofit Montgomery member organization (health services) has offered to share their story about how they assessed their risk, brought staff on board, and made cybersecurity part of how they do business. Email Lesley for more information.

Advocacy Alert

2017-06-29T14:19:17-04:00April 25th, 2016|Action Alerts, Nonprofit Resources|

Just last Thursday the Health & Human Services Committee discussed the Council staff recommendation (see page 7) for a 2% increase to eligible contracts. Councilmember Berliner moved to add an additional percentage, for a total of 3%. This was seconded by Councilmember Rice, and passed 3-0 in committee. This is excellent news for the County’s nonprofit sector. But our work is not finished.

Nonprofit Montgomery has drafted a letter to send to Council President Floreen with signatures from county nonprofit leaders to encourage her support of this increase. Additionally, we are currently holding meetings with Councilmembers to share our priorities. We recognize the nonprofit community’s longstanding partnership with county government and had respectfully requested that our elected leaders safeguard the county’s investment in nonprofits to deliver services to include a 4% increase to base budget contracts, and an increase to the community grants pool.
