Join the Montgomery County Funders as we reflect on our collective successes and envision the path forward. How have Montgomery County funders come together over the last two years? What have we learned? Bill England, Coordinator, Montgomery County Safety Net Coalition on behalf of Pennsylvania Health Access Network will offer reflections on how access to coordinated funding helped drive broad participation in Census 2020 in Montgomery County. Teresa Harris, Public Affairs Manager for the County of Montgomery will discuss the remarkable impact of the MontcoPA COVID-19 Fund that illustrated the power of collective giving to mobilize resources for our community. She will also share her thoughts about how philanthropy can best support the county’s vision for the ARPA funds.
Please bring examples of initiatives and collaborative opportunities you’d like to share with other Montgomery County funders and we’ll discuss how to best leverage these meetings to transform our work together.
