Nonprofit Montgomery Advocacy Update
Community Grants and FY 22 Budget Outlook

According to presentations by Council President Hucker and Rafael Murphy (OMB), projections show that FY22 tax-supported revenues are $163.2 million less than the approved FY21-26 Fiscal Plan. The greatest decline is in income tax revenue.

Programs funded through FY21 Community Grants will not need to reapply for funding in FY22. The County will forgo an FY22 Community Grants application to reduce the administrative burden on nonprofits.

The Nonprofit Impact Series: Culture & Strategy

2020-12-09T16:14:00-05:00December 7th, 2020|Events|

Culture does indeed eat Strategy for breakfast. Buy why? And what does it take to ensure great Strategy ideas aren’t stymied by counter-Culture forces?

This exploratory session, looks at how values, beliefs, and organizational assumptions (aka Culture Components) shape the outcomes and practices within an organization; how strategy execution is impacted by those Culture Components; and what it takes to sustain complimentary Culture and Strategy. Building a strong understanding of the role of culture allows us to harness it and ensure that our organizations are designed to effectively advance the benefits we hope to see in our communities.

When: December 17 at 9-11am
Where: on Zoom, click here to register.

This event is part of The Nonprofit Impact Series, which covers issues that are critical to nonprofits and build on the learnings from FIRM and MORE. The series is supported by the Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services.
