Join Maryland Philanthropy Network, the Abell Foundation, and the Middendorf Foundation for a joint program examining recent research on Baltimore City’s contracting, payment, and permitting processes and how delays in those processes negatively affect non-profits and the high-need communities they serve. At this briefing, you will hear from authors of the newly released Abell Report on the City’s contracting process and learn about the findings from a joint Middendorf/MPN study on the City’s permitting and grantmaking systems. The goals of the briefing are to share the scale and scope of the challenges, recommend changes, and discuss how funders can support the implementation of these changes in an effort to strengthen and support Baltimore’s non-profit sector.
This one-hour webinar will offer a high-level overview of employment law trends and best practices for foundations.

Maryland Philanthropy Network knows philanthropy cannot be successful without our partners in government and the nonprofit community. Therefore, we strive to take some of the mystery out of philanthropy and promote best practices in resource development and funder relationships and contribute to building a stronger nonprofit sector.
Americans don’t understand philanthropy, and the sector’s own messaging is a big part of the problem. The Council on Foundation's new report with the Center for Public Interest Communications, is the largest study to date on philanthropy and its narratives. The report shares science-backed strategies from their research that build understanding and trust.
Maryland Philanthropy Network along with our peers with the Mid Atlantic Regional Partnership are excited to share this great opportunity for learning and engagement with our philanthropic peers across networks. Reimagine, a regional funding collaborative housed at the Greater Washington Community Foundation is hosting a free five-session funder learning series focused on deepening participants’ understanding of and comfort with community-led systems change work that transforms our economic system.
Join Maryland Philanthropy Network for a conversation with communication peers in philanthropy to discuss the Council on Foundations and the Center for Public Interest Communications' report, Philanthropy’s New Voice: Building Trust With Deeper Stories and Clear Language. Together we will discuss key takeaways from the report and save time for some open peer discussion and networking around current dilemmas and recent success stories.
