Maryland Philanthropy Network members are invited to join representatives from B’more Invested, InFusion Community Grants, Youth as Resources, and other participatory grantmakers for an engaging discussion about what they are learning, especially about decision-making structures, coaching, compensation, and the power of allocating resources that directly impact their neighbors and peers. We’ll also discuss how the Ground Root Collective is collaborating on efforts to strengthen the social sector by supporting applicants and grantees before, during, and after grant cycles.  If you are curious about or have joined in participatory grantmaking, this is time to dig in and explore this practice and the implications of being more participatory!

Maryland Philanthropy Network will celebrate all the administrative professionals in our network with a special luncheon and two-part workshop. Gather with your philanthropic peers to learn about  managing up, down, and across the organization from Dr. Rebecca Cisek of the Banium Family Foundation. Then, Terrarium Therapy will lead participants in a workshop to create beautiful, long-lasting succulent terrariums to take back to their offices to enjoy.
