FMF is grateful for the strong collaborative leadership among nonprofits and anchor institutions who work to advance health, equity, and community-driven initiatives. Our board and team enjoyed touring the facilities of some of our partner organizations that strengthen Southwest Baltimore neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for its residents. Thanks to the B&O Railroad Museum, The Factory: West Baltimore Opportunity Center, La Cite/Poe Homes, University of Maryland Community Engagement Center, Bon Secours Home Ownership Program and Resource Center.

Learning is one of our core values that our team leaned into this week by attending The Funders Network Conference. We attended many sessions focused on how to meet the moment boldly, and we joined local tours showcasing Baltimore’s resilience and innovation. These photos feature our team members Elizabeth Perriello Rice and Erin O’Keefe, with board member Danielle Torain and Climate Advisory Committee member Stuart Clarke on the community tour. Thanks to Parks & People and Stillwater for hosting and Blue Water Baltimore for organizing the tours showcasing the great work being done across our communities to support a resilient Baltimore! (fb)
