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
