Join Maryland Philanthropy Network for an update from the City of Baltimore about the impacts of recent federal policy decisions on the administration. The presentation will include an update of the city budget. Speakers include: Alexandra Smith, Chief of Partnership and Philanthropic Strategy; Shamiah Kerney, Deputy City Administrator; Laura Larsen, Budget Director; and Ashley Meyer, Director of Grants Management Office. 

Join Maryland Philanthropy Network for an expanded opportunity for all MPN members to convene in our State Capitol for our annual Philanthropy Summit (formerly known as Day in Annapolis). Members will receive updates from state policy makers and sector leaders on the 2026 legislative session. Members will learn about key issues and priorities that affect Maryland communities as well as updates on the state budget changes in federal policy, and the potential impact on philanthropy. 

Maryland Philanthropy Network is using this year’s annual meeting as an opportunity for transformative change. Our Network must recognize the responsibility to engage in truth-telling and healing in order to support positive community transformation in Maryland. Together we'll hear from local and national grantmakers on the cutting edge of restorative practices, welcome new board members, and celebrate our outgoing board members and CEO Celeste Amato.
