MONDAY, October 20, 2025
6:00 – 8:00 PM EST
IN-PERSON
Are you considering how to serve your community, and planning to start a nonprofit?
Or have you already organized a group but feel unsure that the organization is really functioning properly?
Our in-person How to Start and Maintain a Nonprofit in Maryland workshop will focus on the legal basics of establishing and maintaining a nonprofit.
Who should register?
• Community leaders who are currently members of – or plan to start – a small nonprofit organization.
• Any organization seeking legal assistance through Community Law Center with an issue related to organizational formation, as attendance at the workshop is required before the organization will be assigned an attorney through Community Law Center.
In times like these, it is important to make sure your organization has a solid foundation.
Take the time now to build your internal capacity: create or review your bylaws; reflect on your conflicts of interest policy; consider how you are making decisions remotely; make sure you are up-to-date with state and federal filings; and think about whether it is the right time to apply for 501(c)(3) status.
Whether your organization is new, or it has existed for a while, this course contains all the information you need to know to keep it legally compliant.
Cost to attend the workshop
The cost for one person to attend the workshop is $75. Additional attendees from the same organization may sign up for a discounted rate! The cost for 2 participants from the same organization is $100. The cost for 3 participants is $130.
