Expert Analysis: Mitigating Extremism Through Philanthropy & Shaping the Census 2030
As midterm elections near, join us for a funder-focused conversation on two timely and critical issues. Together we will explore findings from a national and Michigan-specific public opinion research project supported by The Joyce Foundation in partnership with the Trusted Elections Fund and the Klarman Family Foundation on the public’s view of political violence and ways that Michigan philanthropy can engage to mitigate the threats posed by political extremism. Additionally, the U.S. Census Bureau has formally invited the public to share input and ideas for an improved 2030 Census.
Exploring Access to Quality Health Care
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!

Making the Case for Trust-Based Philanthropy: An Equity Signature Series Workshop
As trust-based philanthropy gains recognition across the sector, more funders, individual donors and grantmaking professionals are getting curious about this as an approach to alleviate power imbalances and advance community impact. While many leaders and practitioners have a base-level understanding of why trust-based philanthropy is the way to go, many are still grappling with how to make the case to their peers. This can be especially challenging given the range of misperceptions, critiques and questions that come up for those who are less familiar with trust-based philanthropy.
