Maryland Philanthropy Network members are invited to attend a presentation showcasing a summer 2025 research project conducted by five Morehead-Cain Scholars from the University of North Carolina. Through in-depth interviews, document analysis, and case studies, this study sheds light on what makes capital projects in the fields of education and youth development succeed—or fail—and offers actionable insights for funders striving to increase the effectiveness of their investments. 

Maryland Philanthropy Network is excited to invite members and special guests to an open house at our office located in Baltimore’s Woodberry neighborhood! In response to the enthusiastic requests from members, we are excited to host a relaxed gathering designed to foster connections and friendships among colleagues and MPN staff. This informal event will offer a delightful atmosphere to unwind and engage in meaningful conversations.
