Overview
Mission
Our purpose is to support efforts of citizens and governments to meet the economic needs of rural Maryland. We support the efforts of the Rural Maryland Council, an independent state agency.

The Forvm made a donation to the Somerset County Young Farmers Association and supported the 2025 RMC Rural Summit Event.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 88% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
