In June more than 150 philanthropic leaders, including Maryland Philanthropy Network members, will participate in the Grantmakers for Effective Organizations Learning Conference in Baltimore

Baltimore City Schools face a $130 million deficit and potentially 1,000 school-based layoffs. In January 2017, John Walker was appointed Interim Chief Financial Officer for the school district.

This peer exchange is designed to share information about neighborhood and community investment grantmaking particularly as we work together to revitalize Baltimore communities. Whether you are considering making a neighborhood grant for the first time or have a dedicated community development portfolio, this session will provide an opportunity to learn from one another and to explore future possibilities for joint action.
