About Maryland Nonprofits

Maryland Nonprofits was established in 1992 as a result of a comprehensive statewide organizing effort in the nonprofit and philanthropic community involving hundreds of nonprofit executives and volunteer leaders.  Today, we are one of the largest and most successful nonprofit associations in the United States with more than 1,700 nonprofit organization members, 400 associate members, and 30 staff to serve them from two locations (Baltimore and Silver Spring). 

Maryland Nonprofits is statewide and sector-wide.  Our members hail from every county of Maryland and from all sub-sectors of the nonprofit community, including human services, health, educational, cultural, environmental, religious, and other charitable organizations and foundations.  The size of these organizations is also diverse, ranging from all volunteer organizations to major institutions. The association truly represents the diversity of Maryland's nonprofit community.

Maryland Nonprofits offers a full range of programs and services designed to help your organization fulfill its mission today and provides the tools you need to prosper in the future.
