What Leadership Maryland Inc does
Mission
Building a better maryland takes a special kind of strength-the kind of strength you'll find every day in leaders throughout our local businesses and communities. At leadership maryland, we harness that strength by bringing together local leaders from all sectors, industries, and geographic regions of our state-people with a passion for making maryland the best place to work and live. Together, we engage on the vital issues affecting our state and work to build solutions for real, actionable change.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.
As of january 1, 2025, leadership maryland transitioned its maryland leadership workshop program to a separate newly formed 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. In connection with this, leadership maryland transferred certain related program assets, liabilities and net assets, totaling 907,971 to the new organization.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
50 maryland leaders from business, non-profit organizations, education, and the public sector participated in a year-long program focused on the state of maryland. Leaders met during eight months of the year in different regions of the state for a series of classes and hands-on experiences that highlighted local, regional, and statewide issues. Prospectives were broadened on a number of the most significant issues facing the state, including education, health and human serives, criminal justice, environment, and diversity and multi-culturalism.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $3.6M to $2.7M (−25%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
31% of LEADERSHIP MARYLAND INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (88% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $10k → $76k.
2 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 74% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of LEADERSHIP MARYLAND INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
LEADERSHIP MARYLAND INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 88%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
88% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund LEADERSHIP MARYLAND INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 94% · 2019 100% · 2023 79% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
74% of LEADERSHIP MARYLAND INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $35k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Maryland funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $99k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
