Dear Colleagues,
Out of an abundance of caution and the networking nature of this event, we have decided to cancel our Open House.
After a delay of 27 months, we are pleased to finally host an open house for members at our office space in Baltimore’s Hampden neighborhood! Our customized 4,000-square-foot office features a polished and comfortable conference room (twice the size as our old one), casual meeting areas, an open kitchen, and over 100 feet of gallery space. During the open house, we invite you to tour our offices and convening spaces, experience our first art installations - The Photographer is Listening by Edwin Remsberg and Positive Connection by G.M. Webb, all while enjoying light fare with friends and colleagues as we establish the new center for philanthropy in Maryland.
The Open Society Foundations will provide $1 million in direct financial and other emergency support for workers in Baltimore who have been hit hard by COVID-19 and are at greatest risk of falling into extreme hardship, including those who are unemployed and the formerly incarcerated.
The Funders Network (TFN) will host its 25th Anniversary Conference: Be Bold Together in Baltimore. TFN is a robust network of funders engaged in a broad spectrum of philanthropic work across North America, from small, rural community organizations to large urban foundations. Their Baltimore gathering will bring together place-based, regional and national funders to deepen their learning, share their strategies and broaden their professional networks. TFN’s equity-centered learning agenda is designed to inspire the bold philanthropic leadership, courageous action and meaningful collaboration needed to help unlock environmental, economic and racial justice.
