Please join the Health Funders for a dive into the problematic health disparities in COVID-19 cases among people of color and the social determinants that play into those disparities. This program will include a conversation about addressing social determinants, and the importance of health equity in response to COVID-19, ideas for responding to health disparities through philanthropy, and areas for shared learning.
Both locally and across the country intentional collaborations among funders increase the impact of philanthropy by connecting the knowledge and expertise of diverse funders with a wide range of funding interests.
Join Maryland Philanthropy Network for a conversation with Shamiah Kerney, Chief Recovery Officer for the Mayor’s Office of Recovery Programs.

This will be an opportunity to learn about the tools and resources available to help you stay abreast of ARPA Impact Indicators, recovery reports and resources, and the recovery data dashboard that pulls all the pieces together.
