We are partnering with the Nonprofit Executive Leadership Institute at Bryn Mawr College (NELI) to pilot this capacity building program.

The program was created in response to recommendations shared by nonprofit and county leaders.

The sessions are designed to a) bolster systems thinking and adaptive leadership; b) familiarize leaders with organizational concepts, tools and data to lead effectively and c) apply both on a larger scale to effect systems change. 

In January 2018, we launched our new Safety Net Resiliency Initiative. Over the next 10 years, the Resiliency Initiative aims to improve the ability of Montgomery County’s health and human services safety net system – and the organizations that contribute to and support the system – to weather uncertainty and meet the needs of people across the county.

Our board of directors adopted our current strategic plan, guiding our work through June 30, 2023.

We will continue to evolve our grantmaking focus over the next decade with a goal of “Assuring a nimble, real-time, resilient quality health and human services safety net system”. We will sharpen our focus on system change to address health disparities that hinder access and quality outcomes. And we will seek opportunities to ensure the financial and organizational health of the safety net system. 

We engage our community in a number of ways. Our Safety Net Resiliency Initiative has been largely informed by the community of health and human service providers and stakeholders.
