The Baltimore Workforce Funders Collaborative (BWFC) at Maryland Philanthropy Network is thrilled to launch its new strategic and operating framework. This document sets forth a new vision, mission, and set of values. It recognizes the rich history of the BWFC dating back to 2006 and then sets forth a new set of strategic principles, pillars, and tactics for the future. This framework also lays out a plan for how the Collaborative is structured to operate.
Maryland Philanthropy Network's Strategic Frame was a labor of love comprising the work of our board and staff and the feedback of the dynamic community of funders that makes MPN possible. As a membership organization, we rely on our members not just for the vibrancy they bring to our community, but also to hold us accountable to the strategy we set forth. We encourage you to read through the entire Strategic Frame including our updated mission, vision, and north star.
