Building a Better Partnership between Baltimore City Government and the Social Sector
Monday, April 19, 2021 at 03:00 to 04:30 PM

During Baltimore City Comptroller Bill Henry’s first few months in office, the policy and process challenges faced by nonprofits and fiscal partners doing business with the City are readily apparent and numerous. You are invited to join Celeste Amato, Chief of Staff of the Baltimore City Comptroller, for a conversation intended to build out the initial list of issues that the Comptroller’s office has identified as needing attention and to discuss the formation of a stakeholder group to continue engaging with the Comptroller’s office around issues, improvements, and to outline what a more ideal partnership could look like between local government and the nonprofit and fiscal partners.

Resources for Supporting Haiti
Release Date: 
08/19/2021

On August 14, 2021, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti. Hundreds have been deeply affected and thousands are injured while others will be left homeless or jobless. It can be tricky to determine how to sift through the information to prioritize philanthropic action. Our colleagues at Hispanics in Philanthropy and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy have both compiled lists of trusted resources to help philanthropy bring attention and aid to affected communities. We encourage you to review these resources and share your generosity by making donations to affected residents of the island.
