Philanthropy for the People’s Post

Last week, we worked with Collaborate Cleveland and The Women's Fund of the Greater Cincinnati Foundation to host a policy institute focused on paid family and medical leave. Together, we laid the groundwork for building momentum in Ohio for this critical issue. Did you know that most people will experience TWO instances in their lives where paid leave is essential? Whether you're becoming a new parent, taking care of a loved one, or experiencing a personal medical event, paid leave ensures that you can take care of your life without sacrificing your financial wellbeing. We were incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Cynthia Osborne from Prenatal-to-3 Policy Impact Center, Wendy Howell from the Colorado Working Families Party, and Dan O'Brien from Children First join us to share their expertise. Special thanks also to April Walker, MSW (Philanthropy for the People) and Kelsey Ellingsen for leading the conversations. Plus, we were honored to be one of the first public events hosted at the fabulous new Zora's House space ✨ Stay tuned for more updates on this critical work and thank you to the many partners that made it happen!
