Join Maryland Philanthropy Network’s Emergent Philanthropy Roundtable, to discuss chapters 3-5 Darren Walker’s book, From Generosity to Justice: A New Gospel of Wealth.

Join Maryland Philanthropy Network’s Education Funders Affinity Group for a two-part series on tutoring programs. For our second discussion, our speakers Joshua Michael from University of Maryland Baltimore County's Sherman Scholars Program and Maryellen Leneghan and Alan Safran from Saga Education will introduce us to their mathematics tutoring programs. Come learn about what we know about effective math tutoring practices, programmatic models for two leaders in mathematic tutoring, and ways philanthropy can help to expand tutoring supports in Baltimore.
This quarterly Roundtable will focus on how funders are shifting philanthropic behavior, norms, narratives, and governance policies particularly around the calls to action found in the Level Up Campaign. The Level Up campaign is proudly hosted by CHANGE Philanthropy and its ten partner Philanthropic Infrastructure Organizations. Jaqueline Tucker, Vice President of Community Partnerships and Strategy at the Meyer Foundation, will kick off the conversation by sharing the Foundation’s work in this area.
