About Altrusa International, of Montgomery County, MD

Altrusa International, Inc. of Montgomery County, Maryland consists of a body of women who have a desire to "pay it forward" through service to their community, and who have the skills, energy and determination to translate that desire into effective action. Founded in 1965, Altrusa Montgomery is one of the 358 clubs that comprise Altrusa International, Inc., an organization founded in 1917, with a current membership of almost 10,000. Altrusa Montgomery is located geographically in District Two of Altrusa International; District Two is comprised of the states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia; the District of Columbia, and the province of Ontario, Canada. Like its parent organization, the primary focus of Altrusa Montgomery is childhood literacy, and our centerpiece in this regard has been our grantee role in the program Reading Is Fundamental(c), but the Montgomery County Club participates in and sponsors a number of other local community-service projects. Again - like its parent organization, the Montgomery County Club appreciates its role in a larger, global community, and for this reason initiated short-term international projects through which we offered both monetary and "hard goods" support to children in Zambia, Tanzania and Mumbai, India.
