​Where does my donation go?
MCA is lean, yet highly regarded for effective use of its resources... With only two staff assisted by volunteer board members and interns, we are selective and strategic in the work that we take on.  MCA has been very successful in a variety of areas – from issue advocacy, to policy, education and coalition building. Visit our News page to follow the issues we are currently tackling. 
Royce Hanson, former MC Planning Chair and architect of the Reserve writes:​
“When leaving my second tour as the Chair of the County’s Planning Board, I described the role of that body as “a trustee for the future.” The same can be said of Montgomery Countryside Alliance as they work to ensure vibrant rural communities and a working landscape of viable farms in the County.”
