About

Maryland Nonprofits is the state association of nonprofit organizations, which works to advance the quality of life in Maryland by strengthening, educating, and engaging nonprofits.

Maryland Nonprofits is recognized among policy makers, media, opinion leaders, and the general public as a leading representative and authoritative source of information about the state’s nonprofit sector; and as the creator of the Standards for Excellence program, an expert resource for education and implementation of organizational best practices.

Maryland Nonprofits advocates in partnership with all sub-sectors and on behalf of the people and communities served by nonprofit organizations throughout the entire state.

If you’re in the early stages of running a nonprofit and struggling to find your footing, you may be in search of people or organizations to help you along the way. Look no further! The Nonprofit Development Center is a unique program that offers resources, training, consulting, development assistance, and a network of supportive peers to help. 

To be eligible for assistance, your nonprofit must be located in Maryland, less than 10 years old, have an operating budget under $750,000, and be classified as a 501 (c) (3), (4), or (6). To remain in the program, you must submit data about your organization upon acceptance and at quarterly intervals.
