As our network continues to explore how our individual and collective support can fit together to yield the greatest impact, we invite members to join us and keynote speaker Rev. Dr. Starsky Wilson, President and CEO of the Children’s Defense Fund, for Maryland Philanthropy Network's 2024 Annual Gathering, "Inspiring Bold Philanthropy for Maryland’s Youth and Families."

The global pandemic undeniably established in the public mind that robust, affordable broadband service is part of our critical public infrastructure and an essential tool for our daily lives—as necessary as reliable electricity and clean water. Join Maryland Philanthropy Network to learn about the various aspects of the digital divide and the prospects for addressing it in Maryland and, particularly, in Baltimore City and Baltimore County. We’ll learn about the role of the new Office of Statewide Broadband; possibilities of building out broadband infrastructure and digital navigators; and gaps in public funding/possible investment opportunities for philanthropy.

The Affinity Group on Aging invites you to a program focusing on the critical determinant of health; the lack of affordable, accessible transportation for older adults. As Baltimore City residents age, they often lose their capacity to drive which negatively impacts their independence and quality of life contributing to ill health due to social isolation and loneliness.

COVID-19 is bearing down on communities of color with intense disproportional impacts that are felt both economically and physically.
