Growing Together Part 3: Building Early Relational Health for Stronger Families and Communities
Tuesday, April 08, 2025 at 03:00 to 04:00 PM

Science has shown us something powerful: the relationships babies and young children form with their parents and caregivers shape their health, learning, and resilience for a lifetime. For part 3 of our learning series on Early Relational Health, Maryland Philanthropy Network's Prenatal to Five Affinity Group is pleased to host Atiya Weiss, Executive Director of the Burke Foundation, and Ira Hillman, Strategy Lead on Bonding at the Einhorn Collaborative, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to addressing America’s growing crisis of connection. Together we will explore how fostering strong, nurturing relationships can transform the lives of infants, toddlers, and their families – laying a solid foundation for success in school, work and life.

This interactive workshop will provide participants the opportunity to explore the imperatives of ABFE’s 2020 Call to Action: We Must be in It for the Long Haul through their Responsive Philanthropy in Black Communities (RPBC) framework and tools.

Supporting Afghans in Crisis
Release Date: 
08/23/2021

In the wake of the U.S. withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, the collapse of the Afghan government, and the Taliban’s takeover, many Afghans are fleeing for their lives. While up-to-date figures are unavailable due to the intense conflict, more than 1 million Afghans remain displaced from their homes due to ongoing violence and frequent natural disasters. We are grateful for our colleagues at Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR) who have compiled a list of actions to support philanthropic response. Maryland Philanthropy Network will continue to post ways in which philanthropy may respond to all that is happening in the world and we urge foundations and individual philanthropists to look into the future of how all of this will change Maryland and what your role may be to relieve suffering and build for our future.

All donors want to know that their investment is making a difference. And we certainly should be channeling more of our scarce charitable resources into what we know gets better results.
