The Montgomery County 2019 Operating budget does not include contract adjustments or inflationary increases for nonprofit contracts. Flat funding for nonprofit contracts across County departments means that providers are faced with the difficult choice of cutting essential services or searching for additional funding through limited outside sources to continue providing the same level of service.
Nonprofit Montgomery advocates for increases to County contracts to address these needs, in all departments that contract with nonprofit providers. We are hard at work preparing for budget advocacy meetings with our Councilmembers. Our messaging on behalf of the sector is strengthened when we bring multiple leaders together into the meeting rooms.
Our goal is to have at least 4-7 nonprofit leaders in the room for each meeting, who can speak about the impact of the county’s budget actions on their organizations and the people they serve. Even attending one can help make a difference for the county’s nonprofit sector and your organization. Please join us!
