Maryland Philanthropy Network is proud to support the Maryland Nonprofits 2023 Annual Conference "Big Conversations on Equity and Leadership." No matter your job role, experience level, or preferences regarding virtual versus in-person programming, this two-day hybrid event features something for everyone.
The Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County announce the recipients of the 2023 Celebration of Philanthropy Awards.
Please join Maryland Philanthropy Network in partnership with the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore for an exciting day of learning and networking with fellow philanthropic leaders. This half-day program will focus on the unique challenges and opportunities faced by grantmaking organizations and communities serving rural Maryland. We will learn from Dr. Yen Dang, Professor of the Rural Health Disparities Program at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and Special Secretary Carmel Martin, Governor’s Office for Children. Gain insight and understanding regarding social determinants of health and Governor Moore's new place-based strategies associated with the E.N.O.U.G.H Act, which aims to reduce the causes of childhood poverty in communities across Maryland. Participants will then enjoy lunch and an engaging conversation with local voices to discuss shared goals around the racial, social, and economic inequities facing rural Maryland and how philanthropy might respond.
The Bainum Family Foundation announced a $100 million commitment to funding early childhood issue areas over the next five years — the largest single commitment in the foundation’s 56-year history. With this investment, the Foundation is doubling down on its mission to create lasting systems change for the well-being of children and families.
Maryland is taking a meaningful step toward expanding economic opportunity for children and families.
Economic justice is often defined by policies, metrics, and outcomes—minimum wages, unemployment rates, wealth gaps. But what if true economic justice isn't just about better numbers?
A message to the Maryland Philanthropy Network membership from our President and CEO Danista E. Hunte.
Maryland Philanthropy Network members, Public Welfare Foundation and Morton K.
Philanthropy has always excelled when it listens, learns, and evolves to meet the needs of the communities it serves. In recent years, lean funders have increasingly recognized that racial equity is not an optional add-on to their work; it is central to their mission regardless of the focus area. Exponent Philanthropy's 2025 publication, “Racial Equity in Lean Foundations: Staying the Course Toward Inclusive Philanthropy,” delves into how foundations are incorporating racial equity into their work to drive better decisions, achieve more equitable outcomes, and amplify their philanthropic impact.
The Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County has appointed John Rodenhausen, CAP®, as its next President and CEO, effective November 1, 2025.
