Release Date:

As a community dependent on the next generation, we cannot let young people’s future in Baltimore be determined by their zip code, resources or network. That’s not how you create a thriving city, let alone a thriving society.

Open Letter to Governor Hogan, Executive and Legislative Leaders Regarding State Budget Surplus
Release Date: 
11/04/2021

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.
