Connecting with Maryland’s Faith Communities
At the Office of the Comptroller of Maryland, we believe that strong partnerships with our state’s faith communities help us better serve the people of Maryland. Our Public Engagement team is here to build those connections and ensure that residents across the state can access the information and resources our agency provides.
How We Can Partner with You
Our Public Engagement Officers are dedicated to meeting Marylanders where they are—whether at their place of worship, community event, or online.
Here are some of the ways we can work together:
- Attend your events and resource fairs to share information about our agency’s services and how we can help your congregation.
- Meet with your leadership to better understand your community’s needs.
- Host webinars, briefings, and trainings to share helpful tools and programs available through our office.
- Celebrate your milestones by providing official citations from the Comptroller recognizing your organization’s achievements.
- Answer questions and connect you with subject-matter experts across our agency.
