Join Maryland Philanthropy Network’s Education Funders and Prenatal to Five Affinity Groups to learn about "mixed delivery systems" of care that connect across multiple programs, providers, and settings (including public schools and community-based organizations) that can be supported with a combination of public funds and private funds. Our speakers will share possible avenues for a system of mixed delivery in Baltimore and across Maryland along with potential next steps. Space will be created for dialogue between funders about steps you can take together around early care and education.
All Maryland Philanthropy Network members are invited to join Julia Baez and Bridget Blount of Baltimore’s Promise, Talib Horne, Ilene Berman, and Mildred Johnson of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and Margaret Flynn-Khan of Mainspring Consulting to hear about and discuss plans to map funds supporting services for youth in the age range of 14-24 in Baltimore, with a focus on analyzing how investments align to priorities set by young people through the Youth Grantmaking Initiative.

Over the past six years, Baltimore has endured one of America’s deadliest drug epidemics. Black men in their mid-50s to early 70s are experiencing fatal overdoes at a significantly higher rate than any other group. While just 7 percent of Baltimore City’s population, they account for nearly 30 percent of drug fatalities – a death rate 20 times that of the rest of the country. Black men of that age in Baltimore city are more likely to die of substance overdose than from cancer or even Covid-19 at the height of the pandemic. Join Maryland Philanthropy Network to collaborate with colleagues to learn about harm reduction programs, challenges in implementation, and intervention methods to prevent fatal outcomes.
