Join Maryland Philanthropy Network's Health Funders Affinity Group and Green Funders Affinity Group as they host Ben Zaitchik, PhD, chair and professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, who will give an update on the promising work of the Baltimore Social-Environmental Collaborative. Two years into a five-year, $25 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, Dr. Zaitchik and his team of researchers are aiming to create Baltimore as one of the world’s most climate resilient cities.

Please note: this session is now fully virtual.

Convened by Maryland Philanthropy Network’s Funders Together to End Homelessness – Baltimore, all funders interested in housing justice and homelessness prevention are welcome to attend this huddle! Lightly structured as a peer-to-peer exchange, we encourage you to bring your burning questions, strategic ponderings, or interesting projects to raise with the group.

Baltimore’s Promise and Maryland Philanthropy Network welcome Trabian Shorters to facilitate a workshop on Asset-Framing, an award-winning cognitive framework coined by him in 2013 when he was Vice President of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Asset-Framing^® helps social impact leaders to apply social psychology to achieve greater social impact without relying on fear or stigma to engage people.
