A message to the Maryland Philanthropy Network membership from our President and CEO Danista E. Hunte.
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.
As a community dependent on the next generation, we cannot let young people’s future in Baltimore be determined by their zip code, resources or network. That’s not how you create a thriving city, let alone a thriving society.
“How are you?” These three words have taken on new meaning this year. At different points throughout 2025, the question has landed differently.
A message to the Maryland Philanthropy Network membership from our President and CEO Danista E. Hunte.
