All funders and MIF members are invited to join MIF’s monthly Network Calls — a regular space for media funders to connect, learn, and share. These informal gatherings feature timely presentations, highlights of new research, introductions to new members, and open discussion time. Each call is designed to spark conversation, surface new ideas, and strengthen connections across the network.
