Signature Policy Events
Learn more about our annual touchpoints that equip MPN members in policy and advocacy engagement and connect you with policymakers.
Philanthropy Policy Summit
This annual opportunity provides Maryland Philanthropy Network members a chance to explore the role of philanthropy across many issues at the state level and to build relationships with state government leaders and fellow funders.
While the agenda and special guests shift from year to year, members can expect to receive updates from state policy makers and sector leaders 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. Small group discussion opportunities provide a chance to delve deeper into specific issue areas and group trainings offer time to focus on public policy engagement best practices for the sector.
Check back in late 2026 for more information about our 2027 Summit.
Foundations on the Hill
Foundations on the Hill (FOTH) is presented by United Philanthropy Forum as the premier public policy conference uniting the philanthropic sector to strengthen our collective voice on Capitol Hill for sector specific issues. Maryland Philanthropy Network is proud to lead the FOTH Maryland Delegation by arranging and coordinating meetings between attendees and Maryland Congressional offices.
2025 taught us that when our networks are aligned, informed, and connected, philanthropy can engage more effectively. #FOTH26 built on this momentum by convening the leaders, institutions, and ideas capable of designing our sector’s long-term advocacy future. Click here to learn more about #FOTH26.
