IFCMD Inclusive and Welcoming Ministry and Resource Directory
PLEASE NOTE: The online version of the Directory is currently off-line for updating.
About The Directory
The IFCMD publishes the IFCMD Inclusive and Welcoming Ministry and Resource Directory that was recently featured on the Maryland Public Television Presentation of Anyone and Everyone.
The print version of the directory is spiral bound and contains listings for organizations, for individuals, and by location. The current edition has over 90 organizations - We hope that the next edition will have 150 or more.
This directory is carefully researched as all groups listed have individually contacted us with names, current phone numbers, email addresses and other essential information with permission for the printed edition. This is not a blind list gleaning other publications but by request only.
Listing in the directory is free of charge to all Religious and Community Service groups who wish to be listed. The printed edition is produced at least annually, and is given away free of charge at Pride Days, rallies, and to any organization that may desire it.
Your Support is Needed!
Contributions toward this effort are always welcome, as production of this printed edition is expensive. The current edition was produced in part through grants from the Religious Outreach of the Human Rights Campaign and Brother Help Thyself, who we thank profusely for their generous support.
We cannot reproduce further editions without ongoing contributions. While any amount is appreciated, please consider becoming a Directory Sponsor.
All organizations and individuals donating more than $50 in a fiscal year will be considered Directory Sponsors, and will be listed both on this Website and in a sponsorship section in the printed directory.
For donation and sponsorship information, please visit our Contributions page.
