About the Event

Join your Michigan philanthropy peers engaged in education work. Conversations and storytelling will be focused on, but not limited to, before and after-school programming supported by Michigan philanthropy. We will meet with selected state legislators engaged in education policy making, so a broader range of discussion is welcome. This is an opportunity to highlight Michigan philanthropy’s work towards equitable education policies, systems and programs that ensure every child and young adult across the state of Michigan, regardless of their race, socioeconomic status, address or disability status, has the resources to achieve at their highest potential. We will also learn about legislative priorities in education and deepen connections with policymakers working to shape the future of education in Michigan.

While the scheduled event is 9 am - 4 pm, we understand some members may only be able to attend a portion of the day. If so, please email Nathan Murphy in advance with information about when you will join the group at Foundations In Lansing.

Several days in advance you will receive the day’s agenda, a policy brief, and details on the logistics.

This event is part of CMF's Foundations in Lansing series. These events provide opportunities for CMF members to share stories of their work and communities and build relationships with our Michigan Legislature focused on strategic policy areas of common between Michigan philanthropy and state policymakers.
