Join Maryland Philanthropy Network for an expanded opportunity for all MPN members to convene in our State Capitol for our annual Philanthropy Summit (formerly known as Day in Annapolis). Members will receive updates from state policy makers and sector leaders on the 2026 legislative session. Members will learn about key issues and priorities that affect Maryland communities as well as updates on the state budget changes in federal policy, and the potential impact on philanthropy.
Join Maryland Philanthropy Network’s Health Funders Affinity Group and presenters Shannon Hall, J.D., Executive Director of the Community Behavioral Health Association (CBH), and Brett Beckerson, MSW, Senior Director, Public Policy and Advocacy National Council of Mental Wellbeing, to share their efforts to bring high-quality, integrated mental health and substance use care to Maryland residents through Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC). Learn about the complexities of an organization becoming a CCBHC and how philanthropy can assist them in the process.
The Bainum Family Foundation announced a $100 million commitment to funding early childhood issue areas over the next five years — the largest single commitment in the foundation’s 56-year history. With this investment, the Foundation is doubling down on its mission to create lasting systems change for the well-being of children and families.
