The Horizon Foundation in 2018 added a key priority to our list of initiatives — equity.
Foundations on the Hill (FOTH), presented by United Philanthropy Forum, is a multi-day event that brings together foundation leaders from across the country to DC for meetings with Congress about key issues of importance to foundations and philanthropy.
The Commission is to review and assess current education financing formulas and accountability measures and how each local school system spends its funds, including the increased State funds provided through the Bridge to Excellence in Public Schools Act. Moreover, the Commission will review the Study on Adequacy of Funding for Education in the State of Maryland, required by the Bridge to Excellence in Public Schools Act. Come hear directly from local and statewide organizations to learn about their work focused on the Kirwan Commission and other legislation focused on local, education-related issues.
Join us on October 17th to receive a hardcopy of the 2018 Profile of Education Giving, learn about about data received and aggregrated and to discuss this year's outcomes and compare to previous years with your peers.
July Fourth has come and gone, and we celebrated our country’s independence. This holiday also means that it’s summertime.
This retreat-style gathering will be an opportunity for Maryland Philanthropy Network's Rising Leaders to get to know one another and share their professional development goals while enjoying snacks and tunes.
We've missed you and hope you can join us for an uplifting, and long overdue, in-person Health Funders gathering to kick off the new year!
