Overview
Mission
Maryland Workforce Alliance is a nonprofit coalition that unites unions, trade associations, nonprofits, and education institutions with the common goal to strengthen Maryland's workforce and help working people find good jobs that pay a livable wage.
What it reported doing in 2024
A series of in-person events designed to showcase the benefits of apprenticeship as a workforce solution. Focused on high school-level apprenticeships and provided valuable insights into the resources and incentives available to support employers and workforce development organizations across Maryland.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
