Join Maryland Philanthropy Network's Education Funders Affinity Group to learn more about the Science of Reading movement broadly and the critical elements for effective implementation. We’ll also learn from the co-directors of the Maryland Initiative for Literacy and Equity about the key findings and recommendations from their comprehensive review of literacy instruction in public school districts across the state, and from Maryland READS about their work to support, advocate for, and amplify change initiatives throughout Maryland focused on meaningful Science of Reading reforms.
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.

As many grassroots groups have pointed out over decades, philanthropy, as an institution, is complicit in anti-Blackness. As funders, we can begin to remedy philanthropy’s unjust practices, policies, and outcomes through our explicit and intentional actions. Abundance is a movement in philanthropy to change practice, policy, mindsets, and ways of being to support Black people and communities. Join the session to hear how funders are taking action towards Abundance, and learn how you can be a part of the movement.
