Meeting the Moment Sometimes Calls for a Rest
Maryland Nonprofits, like so many organizations in our sector, has been working on high-alert for the last 18 months since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. To gather our strength, we decided to close our office for a full week, for the first time in our history. Our office will therefore be closed from August 30, 2021 to September 6, 2021.
