Join Maryland Philanthropy Network for a conversation with Dr. John Brothers of the T. Rowe Price Foundation who will share findings from the 2022 State of the Baltimore Nonprofit Sector Report. From this comprehensive report, you will learn about ten trends related to the health and effectiveness of the nonprofit sector in Baltimore and implications for philanthropy. Key concepts that will be covered include shifting the paradigm around nonprofit outcomes, racial equity, nonprofit leadership, and trust-based philanthropy. Come learn what you can do in the movement to build a stronger sector, ways to increase the health and capacity of organizations along with evidence-based strategies to better serve grantees.
Maryland Philanthropy Network invites all members to learn how grantmakers can best use the Form 990 to learn about potential grantees. We will discuss what the 990 tells you and, more importantly, what it does not tell you.
