Join us in hearing this briefing on the JAG model and its possible application for Maryland.
Foundations encourage partnerships among grantees, but great partnerships also take place among consultants to foundations. In this webinar, you’ll explore the realm of consultant partnerships, discover the forms those philanthropy-consulting partnerships take, and learn about their benefits and inherent challenges. Our presenters also will explain what foundations most need to know about initiating and supporting philanthropy-consulting partnerships.
In this special, family foundation trustee- and staff-only event, we’ll explore strategies family foundations can take to engage more deeply in grantmaking that builds toward long-term social change. The webinar will draw from case studies highlighted in NCRP’s new Families Funding Change report, as well as the real life experiences of family members and trustees who have made the transition toward social justice giving.

“Foundation Giving for Disability: Priorities and Trends”, a rigorous new study commissioned by the Disability & Philanthropy Forum, is the first study of its kind to map philanthropic giving for disability causes. The report goes beyond big-picture dollar figures to point out key imbalances within philanthropy, most notably the minuscule amount of support and action to advance social justice for people with disabilities across the spectrum of funding.
As Maryland continues to confront the deepening impacts of the nationwide disruption to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits due to federal funding delays and policy changes related to H.R. 1, food assistance organizations are reporting historic increases in demand. In the last two months, Maryland Philanthropy Network members and partners coordinated $4.3M in additional funding to support statewide food access to help meet the increased demand and changes in services.
