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.

All CMF members are invited to join the Health Funders Affinity Group for a timely conversation exploring the intersection of health, community well-being, and philanthropy in today’s rapidly shifting policy landscape. This webinar will begin with an overview of the current state of the sector, examining key policy developments and systemic challenges that will shape the health field. Participants will gain insights from a local health system that is responding to needs through innovative, community-driven solutions, offering a clear picture of what’s working and new opportunities ahead. This session will conclude with an open dialogue among participants, creating space to share perspectives, ask questions, and identify actionable next steps.

Please join CMF's Government Relations Public Policy Team and your Michigan philanthropy peers for our Quarterly Policy Update. In this meeting, we will brief everyone on executive orders, ongoing tax changes and budget discussions in Washington, D.C., all of which could seriously impact the nonprofit sector. We anticipate an engaging discussion about these learnings, implications for philanthropy, and how members can engage.

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.

CMF's Health Affinity Group, the Safety Net Work Group and the Governor’s Office of Foundation Liaison invite you to join your peers as we unpack issues related to the social safety net, health and health care access—priority among the group is the “unwinding” of Medicaid, i.e., the ending of expanded access to benefits during the pandemic. Michiganders will either lose access or will need to re-enroll. During this virtual briefing, you’ll hear from national, state and community leaders as they offer updates to the process, overview barriers to access, share how Michigan compares to other states and brainstorm the role that philanthropy can play to ensure access to quality health care. We’ll also take time to discuss health priority areas among funders. Join us!
