The 2026 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy, will be held on June 8 – 11 in Baltimore, MD, at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor.
Every year, GIH brings together the bright minds, seasoned experts, and innovative practitioners working in health philanthropy to discuss the important issues facing the field.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Health
Two hundred and fifty years ago America’s founders came together to say the current system of government was not working for them. This act sparked the birth of a new nation founded on principles of freedom, equality, and democracy. The document they signed clearly articulates the founders’ belief in the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Health—and the ability to lead a healthy and productive life—is deeply intertwined with these ideals.
Today, cuts to critical health and social programs; attacks on freedom of speech; threats to non-profit organizations; and federal overreach threaten our fundamental freedoms as well as our health and well-being. The 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding is an ideal backdrop for us to come together and craft a vision for health that works for everyone.
Sponsorship Opportunities
GIH welcomes sponsorships from corporations, and health funders including those in aligned fields, such as health philanthropy advisors, and firms offering technology, communications, planning, or investment services. Your company or organization will find value from access to the GIH audience, who are an engaged and influential group of practitioners, and your support will be recognized in many ways.
