Organizational Membership
Join our Coalition
MCRC and our members are dedicated to fighting for economic justice and inclusion in Maryland. Together, we uncover systemic issues in our financial system and work to create policies that don’t just put bandaids on problems, but heal the system for good.
Organizational membership is open to include nonprofits, direct service providers, community associations, community development organizations, faith-based institutions, civil rights groups, housing justice organizations, and others.* Membership packages reflect the strengths and needs of each type of member organization to best serve our partners and the citizens to whom we are responsible.
Membership is the best way to support and get engaged with MCRC’s work – it allows us to count on your support for the entire year and ensure our policy priorities are tied directly into the needs of the community. By incorporating our partners and supporters as official members, we can better offer those invested in consumer rights opportunities to participate, learn, and guide our work.
How much does membership cost? It depends on the size of your organization’s annual budget!
