September 30, 2025 – Nonprofit Montgomery hosted a lunch event to release the Federal Impact on Montgomery County Nonprofits, a supplement to its 2025 State of Nonprofits in Montgomery County Report. The event brought together nonprofit, government, and community leaders to examine how shifts in federal policies and funding priorities are affecting local organizations and the residents they serve.
The new supplement, based on data from a survey conducted of 34 Montgomery County nonprofits, underscores the strain nonprofits face amid deep cuts to safety-net programs, federal workforce reductions, and dramatic changes in funding streams. It also provides recommendations for how local leaders can work collaboratively to sustain vital community services.
Panelists included Amy Javaid, President & CEO of A Wider Circle, and Rafael Murphy, Director of the Montgomery County Office of Grants Management, who shared their perspectives on building resilience in the nonprofit sector and ensuring continued support for Montgomery County residents.
The Federal Impact supplement builds on Nonprofit Montgomery’s ongoing research into the health of the local nonprofit sector, offering policymakers and community partners data-driven insights and actionable recommendations.
