This is the moment to care

Maryland Nonprofits is celebrating three decades of being a trusted resource, advocate, and partner for nonprofits in Maryland! Our 30th Anniversary Campaign, ‘This is the moment to care’, responds to the urgent need for a shift towards an internal culture of care, equity, and belonging within the nonprofit sector. We’re convening community events and developing innovative tools and strategies to help you care for your team with the same passion that you support those impacted by your mission.

An initiative to address the urgent need for a shift towards an internal culture of care and equity within the nonprofit sector.

This is the moment to care...and CELEBRATE! banner

On July 28, 2022, we gathered at the B&O Railroad Museum to honor Maryland Nonprofits turning 30 years old and to celebrate the people in the sector who show up and bring their best selves to the nonprofit work, day-in and day-out. This rejuvenating evening featured dancing, games, food, drinks, and networking. The highlight of the event was the ‘Service with Distinction Awards Ceremony’ when we recognized the people who hold up our missions every day!
