As the District reopens schools, Maryland is also experiencing its first-ever virtual legislative session. Legislation around digital equity, childcare, and the overturn of the veto for the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future are critical for the future of Maryland’s children. Maryland Philanthropy Network is pleased to host Melissa Broome, Director of Policy and Legislative Affairs, for a conversation about City Schools’ legislative priorities for the 2021 state legislative session and the state plan around funding.
During last year's Green Funders Legislative Debrief, the Maryland Climate Partners Coalition Steering Committee provided an update to funders on the progress of implementing the Climate Solutions Now Act. In collaboration with Chesapeake Bay Funders Network, Maryland Philanthropy Network's Green Funders Affinity Group invites you to learn more about what's next for this work as the Climate Partners track progress on state goals, educate key stakeholders, and advocate for the full enactment of all components of the law.
Updates from the Baltimore Integration Partnership, a project hosted by the Maryland Philanthropy Network.
