On May 24 the Montgomery County Council approved the County’s $5.6 billion FY19 Operating Budget. In this budget cycle Nonprofit Montgomery advocated for a 3% increase for nonprofit contracts across all county departments. The final budget included a 2% increase for DHHS contracts only. Nonprofit Montgomery’s advocacy raised awareness of the nonprofit contracts in several county departments in addition to DHHS. Contract increases are critical to ensuring that nonprofit organizations can continue to provide high quality services to people in need. Contract increases across all departments will remain an important advocacy agenda item.
The Council’s final budget resolutions can be viewed here. The budget includes more than $12.37 for 249 County Council and County Executive grants for nonprofit partners. The complete list of FY19 Council approved grants can be found here.
Now is a great time to thank the Councilmembers and their staff for supporting the critical services provided by the county’s nonprofit organizations.
