Join Maryland Philanthropy Network's Health Funders Affinity Group for a sharing session to learn how your peers are approaching their giving for 2025 and spotlight your takeaways from 2024 thus far. Together, we’ll reconnect with a focus on addressing health disparities across Maryland. Receive an update on the funders’ collaboration around birth equity, neighborhood nursing pilot, and mental/behavioral health initiatives. During this sharing luncheon, members are invited to update colleagues on your funding priorities and develop deeper partnerships to provide collective impact.

We will also hear from the charter school community to learn their policy priorities and how they are impacted by the COVID-19 public health crisis, the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, and the influx of state and federal dollars.
