ABAG Members: On May 23, help us celebrate 30 years of philanthropy and join a discussion about shaping the next 30 years of giving. What ideas will the next generation champion? What trends will change traditional grantmaking? What new forms of philanthropy and ways of working are we creating now? Our speaker Lucy Bernholz publishes a highly-regarded blueprint for philanthropy’s future and will share her forecast - and we will challenge her assumptions by our local barometer.

New Report!

The Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers (ABAG) is pleased to share Partnering for Impact: Combining National Knowledge with Regional Leverage for Local Impact, a new report for the field of philanthropy that attempts to answer some of these questions. This report documents the experiences, successes and lessons learned during the Learning and Action Agenda Project, an effort to provide local grantmakers with information and strategies around issues of importance to the Casey Foundation —particularly around the Foundation’s Family Economic Success framework — and to motivate them to take action on those issues within their own communities and networks.
