Strengthening the Nonprofit Sector and Nonprofits by Empowering Leaders - Leading and Learning


Nonprofit Montgomery puts nonprofits "at the table” with leaders in media, business, and government, to create effective in our region. We provide seasoned and emerging leaders with opportunities to sharpen their leadership skills through high-level, high-quality programs and network with each other to foster community. We do this through:
  • Developing capacity where there are gaps
  • Creating unique learning and leadership development opportunities
  • Nurturing and supporting Peer-to-Peer learning

Opportunities:

Tables for Ten:

Each year, Nonprofit Montgomery organizes several Tables for Ten - an opportunity to have a completely confidential and candid series of facilitated discussions with peers. By coming together for support and problem solving, nonprofit leaders are more effective in pursuing common goals as well as our own. Innovated by the Nonprofit Roundtable, each “table” meets three times over breakfast or lunch. Participants commit to attending all three sessions. Tables are filled on a first come, first served basis. Past Tables for Ten series have been organized for CEOs of Nonprofits with Budgets under $2 million; CEOs of Nonprofit with Budgets over $5 million; New CEOs; Deputy Directors; and Board Chairs. New Tables for Ten are announced in our weekly e-newsletter; The Roundup.

The Discussion Table for Development Directors meets quarterly. Newcomers are always welcome. For more information, contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Future Executives Fellowship Program:

A 9-month leadership development program for mid- and senior-level professionals who are interested in becoming Executive Directors. Click here for more information on this program.

Financial Reporting and Management Institute (FIRM):

A financial leadership institute for executive directors of nonprofits serving Montgomery County. FIRM is a public/private initiative to enhance the ability of local nonprofits to serve the community by strengthening their financial leadership and management.

Nonprofit Energy Alliance:

A group of nonprofits united for the purpose of using their collective power to obtain cheaper and greener electricity. In the past two years the Nonprofit Energy Alliance has offset 35 million pounds of CO2, the equivalent of removing more than 3,000 passenger vehicles off the road for an entire year and reached an estimated savings of $500,000 in energy costs. These results helped the Energy Alliance earn a  2012 Washingtonian Magazine Green Award.

“It seemed too good to be true, but NPEA has indeed enabled us to get greener and save money in our health clinics.”-- Peter Lowet, Executive Director, Mobile Medical Care, Inc.

BEYOND CHARITY: nonprofit business in montgomery county, md


A new report from Nonprofit Montgomery – the first to examine the economic impact of nonprofits in the Greater Washington area – finds that nonprofits generate billions of dollars for the local economy while serving as an engine of employment for more than 40,000 workers in Montgomery County.  The report brings together current data on the county’s nonprofit sector, national research, and numerous examples of how nonprofits across the county generate economic impact.

“Although leaders in government and business may intuitively understand the value of the nonprofit community, this new report compellingly quantifies the return on investment that nonprofit businesses provide,” said Chuck Bean, executive director of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. “This cutting-edge examination of the business of doing good in Montgomery County is the new model. Now it's time to do this analysis in every jurisdiction in our region.”

The report released to a standing-room-only gathering of County leaders in Silver Spring that included County Executive Ike Leggett , looks at nonprofits from several economic vantage points, starting with the fact that nonprofit businesses, like their for-profit counterparts, are employers and purchasers of goods and services.

This 2012 Issue Brief explores the relationship between civic engagement and economic resilience. It finds that the density and type of nonprofit organizations in a community, as well as its social cohesion (the level at which citizens trust, talk to and help neighbors and socialize with family and friends), are important predictors of that community’s ability to withstand unemployment in a recession.
