Since the whole country is thinking about infrastructure, I thought I would as well. It is not sexy, nobody likes to fund it, but just like our country’s infrastructure, if you let it go, eventually it crumbles.
Three weeks ago, I began my journey as the president of Maryland Philanthropy Network.

Maryland Philanthropy Network has joined Maryland Nonprofits and our colleagues across Maryland in responding to a call for ideas from the State for how the budget surplus should be allocated. MPN was part of a group of 170 practitioners and partners that came together to create a joint appeal the result of which is this letter to the Governor. Together, we urge the State to dedicate $1 billion of the projected budget surplus for targeted relief, and that $500 million of this commitment should continue in future budgets to assure sustainability and for more equitable disbursement of state resources in partnership with the social purpose sector.
Maryland Philanthropy Network Board of Directors has initiated a search for a new executive. MPN is seeking a President and CEO who is passionate about strategic philanthropy and its potential to make a positive difference in the region. The new executive will lead the continued evolution of this respected membership organization and will uphold its commitment to being a leading voice in advancing racial equity.
Many of us working to identify good strategies and support effective programs understand the great importance of involving communities in informing and implementing our work.
