Free Meeting Space

The mission of Maryland Nonprofits includes serving the nonprofit community by, among other things, offering free meeting space to our nonprofit organization members. Member organizations, who agree to observe the Meeting Room Policies and whose activities will not adversely affect Maryland Nonprofits’ operations or nonprofit status, can use the meeting space to hold meetings, social gatherings that have a programmatic purpose, conferences, and present speakers and seminars. There is no fee for members' use of the space.

Both our Silver Spring and Baltimore locations have board rooms available for reservation. These rooms are available seven days a week, from 7:30 am through 10:00 pm, and have adjacent rooms with a sink, microwave, and coffee machine to which visitors will have access. The board room in our Baltimore office will seat up to 35 people comfortably in classroom style configuration, while the board room in our Silver Spring office will seat approximately 25.

Our Baltimore office also has a smaller mini-conference room that is ideal for smaller gatherings of around six to eight people. This room offers the same kitchenette access as our larger board room.

Restrictions: Meeting rooms may not be used for purely social purposes or as the sole or primary location to conduct regular business operations. Meeting rooms cannot be used for events for which there is a charge to the participants. Organizations may not collect admission fees, sell products or services, or conduct other direct fundraising activities.

Fees: Meeting rooms are available for use, free of charge, to nonprofit member organizations. Do-it-yourself (DIY) coffee service is available for a flat rate of $15 paid in advance. DIY coffee service includes instruction, coffee & tea, supplies (cups, stirrers, creamer, sweetner, napkins).

Other Information: If meeting space is reserved for use during non-business hours, it is the responsibility of the reserving organization to pick up the keys and any additional instructions during normal business hours from the Maryland Nonprofits office.  Maryland Nonprofits reserves the right to deny use of the meeting space to anyone for any reason.
