The transformation of the national political landscape poses an array of challenges and threats for communities and grantees, who are facing the abrupt loss of federal funding, immigration enforcement policies that harm vulnerable communities, and politically motivated investigations and litigation targeting nonprofits.

Join Maryland Philanthropy Network staff and your philanthropic peers for a webinar led by Georgetown University Center for Public & Nonprofit Leadership and United Philanthropy Forum's State + Local Advocacy Alliance. This webinar will explore ways that funders can support grantees and protect communities through state and local advocacy strategies.
