Maryland Philanthropy Network is pleased to host our annual training for funders, Advancing Racial Equity in Grantmaking, in partnership with ABFE: A Philanthropic Partnership for Black Communities. This year we offer a highly interactive virtual equivalent of the typical on-site day-long racial equity training. This introductory training, derived from the Race Matters Toolkit, presents a valuable framework that has guided and informed Maryland Philanthropy Network’s work since it was first offered to our Board, Staff and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee in April 2013. ABFE’s racial equity training is centered on the drivers of poor and disparate outcomes in Black communities and other communities of color, as well as support and tools for leading community change efforts particularly in places where there has been a long history of racial inequity.
The board and staff of MPN have begun their strategic work to define our path forward and to determine our core pillars of work.
Join Maryland Philanthropy Network for a follow up meeting to the September 23rd Briefing on the City of Baltimore's Historic Plan to Address Vacant Properties. The meeting will begin with an update from the City including information about Reinvest Baltimore and the newly established coordinating council. This will be an interactive deep dive session where participants will further explore three key components of the initiative: People and Health, Infrastructure (neighborhood standard of care), and Financial Products.
A message to the Maryland Philanthropy Network membership from our President and CEO Danista E. Hunte.
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.
