Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in a thought-provoking, poignant and powerfully packaged event hosted by the Maryland Philanthropy Network for Baltimore Area Grantmakers (Maryland Philanthropy Network). This event included a discussion by Kevin Shird and Nelson Malden, authors of the recently published book The Colored Waiting Room: Empowering the Original and the New Civil Movements followed by a panel discussion on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Significant changes are being made that affect the landscape of grantmaking and public policy with direct impacts to the sector in our region and communities they serve. Building on several years of collaboration, join Maryland Philanthropy Network and Virginia Funders Network for a gathering of funders from across the region. This will be an opportunity to convene and connect around the current environment impacting nonprofits and communities, what funders are working on, and how funders are responding to this moment.
