Donations: Be the Change with a Simple Click

Thanks to generous organizations and individuals like YOU, Leadership Southern Maryland provides elite, community-driven learning experiences that connect, inspire, and inform our region’s leaders. Your contributions gift our leaders with resources and tools to ignite positive change within our communities and industries.

LSM’s 2023 Giving Season (Nov 28-Dec 31) features a Campaign for LSM Nonprofit Scholarships to make the Executive Program and LSM Emerging Leaders Program (LEAP) more accessible to professionals from nonprofit organizations. Southern Maryland nonprofits have a multi-billion dollar impact on our regional economy but typically have very small budgets themselves. We need their voices at the LSM table. They need our support to get here. Please consider contributing to LSM Nonprofit Scholarships as part of your year-end giving. Thank you!
