The Word Is Expanding Into Maryland
The Word began in the small towns of Virginia with a simple belief: communities grow stronger when neighbors give together. Now we are bringing that same community giving experience to Maryland. From the Eastern Shore to the suburbs of Baltimore and the towns along the Potomac, Maryland is full of nonprofits and small businesses working to make their corner of the state better — and The Word is built to connect them with the neighbors who want to help.
If you have been searching for Maryland charities to support, ways to volunteer in Maryland, or a trustworthy Maryland nonprofit platform, The Word is preparing to bring local giving, volunteering, and giving-back businesses together in one place built around your community.

For Maryland Charities and Nonprofits
If you run a Maryland nonprofit, The Word gives you a modern home for donations and volunteers without the overhead of building your own tools.

Registering early gets your organization in front of supporters as The Word grows across the state.
For Maryland Businesses
Local businesses that give back earn loyal customers and stronger communities.
