Join Maryland Philanthropy Network staff and your philanthropic peers for Economic Opportunity Funders' briefing on the new political environment and its impact on social policy. Together in Arlington, VA, and virtually, funders will network around, learn about, and discuss: what's at stake and in play at the federal and state levels; coordinated efforts underway to shape the budget and tax fights ahead; implications for philanthropy in the short and long term; and strategies for individual and collective action.
Foundations and nonprofits create more resilient and impactful change when their strategies are shaped by the communities most harmed by inequities. The COVID-19 pandemic taught us invaluable lessons about the importance of community listening and nimble response. In the face of the social sector's recent turmoil, re-applying and building upon those lessons is more urgent than ever. This virtual session will explore how to carry forward best practices from the pandemic to meet today’s challenges. We’ll share strategies–including timely use cases–for responding to shifting community needs. Fellow funders and Listen4Good, a subject matter expert, will share about their successes, challenges, and best practices for centering community voice in grantmaking.
