"Our 2010 pledge campaign raised close to $200,000, and this year we hope to increase the number of employees who participate and the amount of their donations. The need is great, and Montgomery County residents always respond to a challenge to help their neighbors."
Celebrating its fifth anniversary, Montgomery Alliance is an all-volunteer non-profit that supports local health and human service agencies. Its funds are generated by its annual pledge campaign in local companies, agencies and city and county governments. Montgomery Alliance has the lowest operating rate of County agencies at 5 percent, which means of every $1 contributed, 95-cents are distributed directly to the charities.
