The Maryland Philanthropy Network’ mission is to maximize the impact of giving on community life through a growing network of diverse, informed and effective philanthropists. Maryland Philanthropy Network is committed to fulfilling its mission by embracing diversity and inclusion and focusing on racial equity in its governance and programs.
