SUMMARY:GIH Health Policy Exchange 2025
DESCRIPTION:2025 Agenda \nThe GIH Health Policy Exchange is held annually to provide policy-engaged funders with information on current issues\, access to leading thinkers\, and as a venue to make connections with grantmaking peers. The 2025 theme was Protecting the Freedom to Give. Against a backdrop of recent federal funding cuts\, executive orders\, and threats to philanthropy\, it is more important than ever for health funders to educate\, advocate\, and collaborate to support the people\, places\, and things that are important to us.   \nOn Tuesday\, November 18\, we led GIH Hill Day\, leading conference attendees to directly engage with policymakers to underscore the critical role of health funders and share how policy changes are affecting communities nationwide. This full-day event included a training and practice session\, meetings with policymakers and their staff\, and a debriefing session.  \nWednesday kicked off with a local perspective from two DC Area foundations focused on building health equity\, then delved into Medicaid policy changes and funder strategies for how to respond. Thursday we learned about the critical importance of a strong SNAP program\, the health effects of immigration policy changes\, and how to communicate the role of health foundations. After the Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\, we charted the path forward for health equity\, and workshopped collaborative opportunities for funder policy engagement followed by appetizers and open time for networking. Friday we focused on strengthening health funders’ legal strategies\, the link between health and democracy\, and concludes the conference with collaboration/response workshop and an unprogrammed networking lunch.  \n\nClosing Remarks: 2025 Health Policy Exchange\n\n\nPresident and CEO of Grantmakers In Health (GIH)\, Cara V.

SUMMARY:GIH Health Policy Exchange 2026
DESCRIPTION:Regardless of the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections\, the landscape of health policy in the United States will be shaped by recent political realities—and the stakes could not be higher. Against a backdrop of ongoing threats to Medicaid\, SNAP\, and the broader safety net\, rising challenges to democratic institutions\, and a public health infrastructure under strain\, philanthropy has a critical role to play in supporting communities\, and charting a path forward that alters systems and policies to ensure that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve their highest level of health. The 2026 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Health Policy Exchange will provide space to assess the post-election environment\, identify where investment and action are most urgently needed\, and explore ways health funders can mobilize to advance health and well-being for all at the federal\, state\, and local levels. \nLauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\nThe Health Policy Exchange features the Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\, a lecture series established in honor of former GIH President and CEO Lauren LeRoy and her commitment to increasing communication between the worlds of philanthropy and policy.  Last year’s speaker was Keshia Pollack Porter\, Dean of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. \nRegistration\nRegistration will open the week of August 10.
