The nonprofit organizations in Carroll County play a critical role in providing services to people in need.  In other communities, local governments provide these services at a much higher cost.  As many organizations have seen an increase in demand for their services, many have experienced a decrease in necessary funding. Please consider that......

• County supported nonprofit organizations serve over 25,000 citizens from the county's 169,000 residents
• County supported nonprofits are the 3^rd largest employer in Carroll County
• County supported nonprofits leverage $35 million against the $2.6 million received
• County supported nonprofits collaborate to assure that citizens receive great services when the need arises
• County supported nonprofits ARE A GREAT INVESTMENT in our community
   

Show your support by attending The Nonprofit Commissioner Candidate Forum on Wednesday, April 30^th, at 7 pm in Room K100 at Carroll Community College.  It is critical that the nonprofit community show up to hear about the candidate's vision for our community.  We need to pack the room.
