This section provides health grantmakers with access to a storehouse of information on foundation operations. Unlike other organizations serving philanthropy, GIH addresses operational challenges in ways that are targeted to foundations seeking to make a difference in the health of a population or a community.
We are adding content weekly so keep checking back.
Information on board development, board-staff relations, hiring the right team, compensation, conflict-of-interest policies, and other topics.
Information on developing an investment policy for your foundation.
Position descriptions, compensation levels, using consultants, and information on grants management software.
Look here for guidance on developing a mission, defining grant guidelines, reviewing proposals, launching a strategic initiative, and other bread-and-butter issues.
Resources and insights on evaluating everything from individual grants to the foundation's effectiveness in achieving its mission.
Telling a foundation's story to the public, the press, and potential partners.
Review GIH's surveys and reports on the formation and characteristics of new health foundations.
