Advocacy Update – FY19 Budget

2018-05-21T20:27:16-04:00May 21st, 2018|Advocacy|

The County Council reached a preliminary agreement on the $5.6 billion County operating budget and the $4.5 billion six-year capital budget. A final Council vote on the FY19 Operating Budget and FY19-24 CIP is scheduled for Thursday, May 24. The budgets will go into effect on July 1. The Council’s final budget resolutions will be posted on May 24.

The County Council has reached a decision on the final reconciliation list for the FY19 budget. Nonprofit Montgomery requested a 3% increase to all nonprofit contracts. The DHHS committee put this requested increase on the reconciliation list in increments of 1%, and then four ½% increments.

The result is that there is a 2% increase in County contracts in DHHS. Click here for the final grants reconciliation list. And here for our advocacy update about this.

Conversations that Count for EDs/CEOs and Board Members

2019-01-07T15:21:16-05:00May 17th, 2018|Events|

We hope you will join us for this debut event specifically designed for Executive Directors and Board Members – Conversations that Count!

As the nonprofit sector becomes increasingly data-driven, the role of leadership in supporting meaningful evaluation becomes more significant.

  • What conversations do you have at the board and leadership levels to deepen your understanding of your organization’s impact in the community?
  • What systems and tools do you have in place to consistently share progress toward your key outcomes?
Conversations that Count will begin with an opportunity to mingle with fellow nonprofit leaders and continue with an interactive, discussion-rich conversation about nonprofit evaluation.

Grounded in the training model of MORE: Metrics, Outcomes, and Responsible Evaluation, this event focuses on the “bigger picture” aspects of evaluation, from why it matters to how it benefits your organization.

June 5, 2018 from 5pm – 7pm
9200 Corporate Blvd., “Boss Room,” Rockville, MD 20850 (Hosted by MCAEL)
