Paving the Way for Courageous Philanthropy | A CMF Equity Signature Series
Back in 2024, before the elections, Marguerite Casey Foundation engaged in scenario planning exercises with their stakeholders to envision various future administrations. The result was, among other things, clarity, agility, and steadiness in responding to today’s attacks on communities and philanthropy, with a continued focus on the organization’s values and impact in facing the current crises. Join us for a conversation on how foundations can prepare to be courageous now and in the future, and what that looks like in terms of supporting nonprofit partners working on community organizing and advancing a vibrant multiracial democracy.
Finance Roundtable
Connect with your foundation finance peers to learn about all things finance. During this program, participants will have the opportunity to spend some time discussing "Understanding Foundation KPIs" with a member from the firm of DoerenMayhew. We will then discuss other finance and operations topics that are of interest to the group.
Policy Roundtable
Join us for this virtual gathering for staff and trustees interested in public policy 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. This conversation is open to all CMF members, whether your work touches policy or you have a dedicated policy role.
Michigan Philanthropy Virtual Housing Convening - Continuing the Conversation, Deepening Connections
Join your Michigan philanthropy peers and other stakeholders involved in housing work across the state. We hope to continue the conversation from the April 22 CMF and OFL hosted in-person Housing Summit. This will be an opportunity to share, hear, and learn from peers about cross-sector partnerships and innovative approaches being used to address Michigan's housing shortage and discuss needed policy changes. Please join us in this important conversation to hear lessons learned, deepen partnerships, and build coalitions along with policy opportunities to inform future work in addressing housing needs of Michiganders.
