Maryland Nonprofits is asking for your suggestions to help us determine our association's priorities for the upcoming General Assembly session.  We are also interested in your organization's own policy priorities, to the extent you can share them at this time.

Federal budget actions likely to occur in the next few months could have a major impact on fiscal and policy issues in Maryland.  This survey also asks for information on the possible impact of the Trump Administration's proposed budget reductions on the people or communities your organization serves, or your ability to achieve your public service mission.  

Maryland Nonprofits is committed to helping nonprofits have more impact on the policy issues that affect their clients and ability to achieve their missions.  Please contact us if you have any questions about policy issues, advocacy, lobbying, or the rules that apply to nonprofits.

Thank you
