Events Calendar

Join your Michigan philanthropy peers engaged in supporting workforce needs. Conversations and storytelling will be focused on, but not limited to, talent attraction and retention, training, and workforce housing supported by Michigan philanthropy. We will meet with selected state legislators engaged in these policy-making areas, so a broader range of discussion is welcome. This is an opportunity to highlight Michigan philanthropy’s work towards equitable opportunities for the jobs of today and the jobs of tomorrow. We will also learn about legislative priorities in education and deepen connections with policymakers working to shape the future of the workforce in Michigan.

Intentional philanthropy requires ongoing reflection and planning. This interactive webinar will give an overview of NCFP’s Family Giving Lifecycle and updated curricula which provides families with practical tools and proven strategies to clarify their philanthropic mission, effectively transition leadership, ensure lasting impact, and preserve their philanthropic values.

The Safety Net work group, in partnership with the Governor's Office of Foundation Liaison and the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, is hosting a virtual convening with leaders and learners across the state to hear from Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha and Luke Shaefer, Ph.D., about the Flint Rx Kids program. The program is leveraging Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and philanthropic support to guarantee an income every month for an infant's first year for all expectant families in the city of Flint. Join us and learn more about this innovative approach to deploying TANF funding.

How can you prepare the next generation to confidently take the helm while also preparing the current generation of leaders to feel secure in stepping back?

Join your fellow family foundations on the shores of Lake Michigan for an interactive, fun, educational and relaxing retreat!

Join us for this virtual gathering for programming staff to share what you’re seeing in your own work and crowdsource ideas from your peers across the state. This will be an open space for discussion, so please bring your questions, concerns and highlights from your own work to share with the group. As we continue our collective equity journey, we invite you to bring forward equity-related topics to our roundtables throughout the year. This conversation is open to all CMF members whether your work touches programming or you have a dedicated programming role.
