The state has released its first-ever Statewide Housing Plan to address the many challenges and acute disparities in accessing safe and affordable housing in Michigan. Join CMF’s Government Relations and Public Policy team, the Governor's Office of Foundation Liaison and your peers in a conversation with the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) on how recent investments are working to address housing needs.

This conversation is open to all CMF members whether your work touches technology, you have a dedicated technology role or you just want to pick up a few tips from our technology experts.

Organizations are shifting their operations—embracing remote work environments, using virtual communication, and building culture and connection from afar. Many family philanthropies are facing challenges and transitions as the way we work continues to evolve. Join us for a conversation on how to address organizational change, rebuild culture, and integrate practices that best serve the organization as a whole.

Michigan’s 2019 infant mortality rate of 6.4 infant deaths per 1,000 live births was the lowest in recorded history, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). Between 2009 and 2019, the infant mortality rate in Michigan declined by nearly 15% and the gap between Black and White infant mortality reduced from a disparity ratio of 3.2 in 2018 to 2.6 in 2019. The state health department’s Mother Infant Health & Equity Improvement Plan and the administration’s Healthy Moms, Health Babies initiative have worked to improve prenatal and postpartum care for expectant mothers. Join your peers to learn how MDHHS programs are working to make a difference and to understand what role philanthropy might play to build on recent successes in improving the lives of mothers, infants and families in Michigan.
