Foundation: Bloomberg Philanthropies
"We will make Maryland the best place in the world to change the world."
So says Maryland Gov.
Wes Moore in announcing a new partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies to create the state's first-ever Innovation Team to help fight child poverty, the Baltimore Sun reports.
"This partnership will help us discover new and creative ways to deliver for Marylanders, and continue my administration's frontal assault on child poverty," Moore says in a statement.
Under the leadership of a chief innovation officer, the team will be charged with identifying, testing, and piloting new initiatives to address the governor's top priorities, particularly in advancing the Moore-Miller Administration's fight to reduce child poverty.
Currently, one in eight Maryland children lives in poverty.
Nearly one in four Marylanders receive insurance through Medicaid.
