It’s time for Maryland Philanthropy Network’s peer learning exchange for arts and culture funders! We’ll gather over a cuppa for a lightly structured peer-to-peer exchange. Plan to share information about your recent grantees, what you are learning from them and others, and any updates about your arts or arts adjacent funding strategies. Following up on April’s conversation about The Changing Landscape of Arts Funding, we’ll also share plans for upcoming sessions and collect group feedback.
Join Maryland Philanthropy Network and our speakers for an overview of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to contextualize the ways funds are being disbursed, including the $350 billion in State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). Drawing on ideas found in this Philanthropy News Digest article by Darius Graham of the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, we’ll discuss how a greater understanding of priorities and processes in a community can help with allocating SLFRF in ways that inform grantmaking. We will conclude with a dynamic panel discussion with our partners on how funders can support nonprofits, provide community input about public dollars, and address any potential funding gaps.
