Conrad N. Hilton Foundation (Los Angeles, CA)
The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation approved a new five-year strategy for the Catholic Sisters Strategic Initiative. This new strategy highlights how sisters, through their presence and focus on human development work, can bear prophetic witness through vocation.
The vision for this next phase is for Catholic sisters to become global leaders in the provision of sustainable human development services, while remaining grounded in the vitality of their spiritual witness. With ministries at the heart of human development efforts and with a commitment to serve people from all walks of life and religious beliefs, Catholic sisters are uniquely positioned to be recognized as among the most trusted and effective leaders in meeting the global promise to end poverty by 2030 and beyond – a component of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The new strategy seeks to achieve this by investing in four intersecting portfolios:
- Sisters’ Education: Increase the financial and human resources capacity needed to sustain congregations of sisters, their services, and the organizations they are serving.
- Human Development Services: Expand services to disadvantaged and vulnerable youth and young adults 15 to 25 years old and their families. Areas of focus include: education, food security, health care, human trafficking, and youth entrepreneurship.
- Knowledge: Research, gather, apply, and disseminate information to improve practices of congregations and leadership conferences, expand and improve the quality of human development services, and increase collaborative partnerships.
- Innovation: Create sustainable solutions to challenges to the vitality of sisters’ organizations and the sustainability of their human development services.

Health Foundation of Western and Central New York (Buffalo, NY)
Health Foundation of Western and Central New York announces a new initiative titled, “Co-Creating Well-Being: Supporting Children and Families Through Trauma,” which has a focus on enhancing the lives of children and families. This is a multi-year, three-phase initiative that will build the capacity of the community to develop strategies and programming to support children and families who have or are experiencing trauma. In this first phase, the foundation is working together with its partners, the Chautauqua Regional Community Foundation, the John R. Oishei Foundation, The Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation, and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation toward expanding the number and spectrum of trauma-informed programs and services available in central and western New York.
Phase I will provide two types of expert training: trauma and trauma-informed practices, and utilization of the Human-Centered Design approach to solving programs. Phase II will provide in-depth, hands-on utilization of human-centered design to assist organizations to engage with community members ‘to design with and not for’ when responding to community need. Phase III will provide funds for organizations that participated in Phase I to identify, design, and implement trauma-informed intervention and practices based on evidence and the insights gained through the utilization of human-centered design.
Co-Creating Well-Being is targeted towards all who work with children under five and their families. In addition to early childhood education and care providers, the foundation is eager to work with organizations that engage with children in other ways such as libraries, museums, and churches.

The California Health Care Foundation (Oakland, CA)
A recent article in the New York Times, “This ER Treats Opioid Addiction on Demand. That’s Very Rare.” cited a grant given by the California Health Care Foundation to support this effort.
An excerpt from the article states:
“A 2015 study out of Yale-New Haven Hospital found that addicted patients who were given buprenorphine in the emergency room were twice as likely to be in treatment a month later as those who were simply handed an informational pamphlet with phone numbers.
After Dr. Herring read the Yale study, he persuaded the California Health Care Foundation to give a small grant to Highland and seven other hospitals in Northern California last year, in both urban and rural areas, to experiment with dispensing buprenorphine in their E.R.s. Now the state is spending nearly $700,000 more to expand the concept statewide as part of a broader, $78 million effort to set up a so-called hub-and-spoke system meant to provide more access to buprenorphine and two other addiction medications, methadone and naltrexone…”

The California Endowment (Sacramento, CA)
The California Endowment has created a $10 million fund to support statewide outreach and education efforts for the upcoming 2020 census. These efforts will focus on the 10 to 14 million Californians considered “hard-to-count populations” including immigrants, communities of color, LGBTQ, lower-income families, and others.
This investment comes at a crucial moment as the federal government considers adding a question to the 2020 census questionnaire asking residents about their citizenship status. The addition of the question has prompted legal challenges by several states, including California where there is already a heightened climate of fear and mistrust in government.
The Endowment’s $10 million commitment will complement the $90.3 million allocated by the State of California. It’s resources will support the following:
- State and regional level advocacy, education and cross-sector coordination
- Statewide coordination of philanthropic efforts
- Media, communications, and message testing
- Planning and implementation of regional Get Out the Count (GOTC) strategies
- Technical assistance
- Evaluation
- Rapid response funding for low response census tracts and unforeseen issues
Under the United States Constitution, the census serves as a fundamental building block for our democracy, affecting not only the apportionment of each state’s representation in the U.S. House of Representatives, but also the federal level of investments in local communities.
Census data serves as an essential public health tool that allows public health officials, practitioners, advocates, and philanthropy to address public health issues and see trends over time. For the census to be useful for both the public and the private sector, it must be inclusive of all persons living in the country, not just citizens.
Data collected through the census informs a range of local services and decisions including location of schools, hospitals and housing, and helps the private sector make investment decisions about facilities, hiring, and marketing. Census data also influences the allocation of more than $800 billion in federal government resources every year to states and localities and is used to draw local and state district lines.
The Endowment joined more than 300 foundations in signing a letter filed with the Commerce Department, rebuking the question. To read the letter, click here.

Merck Foundation (Kenilworth, NJ)
The Merck Foundation is supporting a new initiative with Marshall Health to launch the Great Rivers Regional System for Addiction Care (the System) to address areas hit hardest by the opioid epidemic in West Virginia. With a $2 million grant from the foundation payable over four years, the System is an innovative, comprehensive approach that aims to reduce opioid overdoses and overdose deaths, improve access to substance abuse prevention and treatment services, and help reduce the rising rates of HIV and hepatitis C infections. Opioid overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under 50, and opioid use contributes to a significant increase in infectious diseases, including HIV and hepatitis C. West Virginia has the highest overdose rate in the United States and it ranks first nationally for rates of hepatitis B and second for rates of hepatitis C. Key components of the System will include:
- comprehensive public health harm-reduction programs like risk reduction services, prevention education, and counseling and referral services;
- integrated, community quick response teams;
- hospital implementation of clinical pathways to treatment and recovery services;
- specialized treatment centers to serve as central hubs for connecting individuals with addiction to recovery resources and treatment services;
- opioid overdose reversal treatment education and distribution by local health departments;
- community engagement and education to raise awareness and prevention of substance use and addiction; and
- building a sustainable and scalable model.
Marshall Health and program partners will engage an independent evaluator to conduct a robust process and outcomes evaluation of the System. The coalition of partners aim to create and disseminate an effective regional community-based model that can strengthen local health care and public health systems in responding to the opioid crisis, and serve as a potential model for other states or regions.
