Policy Hub
Maryland Nonprofits is the state’s leading advocate for nonprofit public policy.
Nonprofits in Maryland are powerful agents of change, playing a vital role in building equitable communities and shaping policies that uplift all residents. With over 40,000 organizations employing nearly 13% of the state’s private workforce, our sector significantly impacts Maryland’s economy and well-being.
Advocacy and lobbying are essential tools for nonprofits, and they are not only permitted but also critical to advancing our missions—as long as they remain nonpartisan. At Maryland Nonprofits, we work to amplify the collective voice of nonprofits, advocating for legislative solutions that address systemic issues and create lasting opportunities.
We provide resources, convenings, and support to engage in organizing, advocacy campaigns, and coalition building. By collaborating with nonprofits, policymakers, and community leaders, we aim to create a more inclusive and equitable Maryland, empowering organizations and communities alike.
Each year, our priorities and principles are shaped by feedback from nonprofits across Maryland to ensure alignment with sector needs.
Nonprofits are the backbone of Maryland’s communities, providing essential services and advocating for change. The sector also drives the state’s economy.
