SUMMARY:Birth Equity Funders’ Summit: It’s Time for Collaborative Action on Birth Equity
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 Birth Equity Funders’ Summit brought together over 100 funders in person and 35 virtually to reflect on the role of philanthropy in reducing racial disparities in birth outcomes and identify opportunities to better collaborate and align in service of this goal. This report serves as an overview of the event\, as well as offers key takeaways and practical recommendations for funders. \nClick here to read the report \n \nMaternal morbidity and mortality\, pre-term birth\, and infant mortality rates in the United States are among the worst in the developed world\, with rates particularly high among Black and Indigenous people\, regardless of income or education. There is a pressing need for funders to align their investments to help improve health outcomes for parents and infants in the United States.   \nOver 120 philanthropic organizations attended the 2022 Birth Equity Funders’ Summit on October 25-27\, 2022 in Atlanta\, Georgia\, following the Mom and Baby Action Network (M-BAN) Summit.

SUMMARY:Aligning Foundation Communications to Restore Trust in Public Health
DESCRIPTION:We are experiencing an unprecedented erosion of trust in public health expertise caused by a host of reasons\, including misinformation and disinformation. Communications staff in health philanthropy play a vital role in assisting their organizations – and\, most importantly\, the grantees and communities they serve – with addressing this new normal following the COVID-19 pandemic. \nPeople responsible for external communications work at their foundation or corporate giving program joined this virtual convening to discuss the problem and the impacts we are seeing in communities across the country. By exchanging ideas and sharing evidence-based communications practices\, we identified common challenges and possible solutions to rebuilding trust among key institutions and supporting the communities we serve. \nThis was a unique opportunity to connect with peers as this is the launch of a series of candid\, confidential\, and unscripted discussions designed to strengthen our alignment and explore the potential for collective action. \n

SUMMARY:Rural Health Leadership Group
DESCRIPTION:During this fourth conversation in the GIH leadership series on rural health\, we learned about key resources available for rural communities through the American Rescue Plan. \nChad Parker\, Acting Administrator for the Rural Housing Service at USDA Rural Development\, detailed RD’s Emergency Rural Health Care Grants. Although the due date for these funds is coming up on October 12\, many rural stakeholders can still field viable applications\, especially for Track 1 of the program. Chad also noted the availability of funds for refinancing single family home loans\, an important tool for rural families facing financial impacts of the pandemic. Funders could refer potential applicants and other stakeholders to their state’s Rural Development Director; there may also be ways funders could provide matching resources or support for the completion of applications. \nTom Morris\, Associate Administrator for Rural Health Policy at HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy\, discussed their upcoming $52 million funding opportunity for rural health workforce initiatives. Broadly\, the program will support cross-sector network development around healthcare workforce initiatives\, including tracks for CHWs\, paramedicine\, HIT/Telehealth\, and respiratory therapy/care coordination. ORHP is finishing the program design and rural stakeholders are invited to an outreach call on 9/29 (see flyer attached). We encourage interested funders to work with their constituents to begin assembling local partners and a governance structure as needed to support cohesive and effective networks. If you have suggestions about the design of this program\, feel free to share them with me and we will pass them along to ORHP. \nThis was the fourth in a series of ongoing discussions to improve health in rural communities. If you are interested in participating in this candid conversation\, please reach out to Eric Stockton at estockton@gih.org for more information.

SUMMARY:2020 Fall Forum: Better Health\, Stronger Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Better Health\, Stronger Democracy explored how health funders are promoting civic engagement\, protecting voter rights\, and engaging in post-census electoral redistricting. \nBetter Health\, Stronger Democracy Agenda \nPost-Census Redistricting: Ensuring Fair Representation\nMonday\, November 16\, 3:00 – 4:30 pm ET\nThe redistricting process that takes place after each decennial census has profound implications for the fairness of representational democracy\, determining electoral districts for most federal legislators\, all state legislators\, and many local legislators. With the quality and accuracy of the 2020 census in question and procedures for apportionment under debate\, this redistricting cycle promises to be particularly controversial. This session described redistricting activities and timelines\, examine existing and emerging threats to fair representation\, and explore how philanthropic organizations can best inform and influence redistricting decisions to support historically underrepresented communities. \n\nDay 1 Opening Slides\nPresentation by Kathay Feng\nPresentation by Amy Dominguez-Arms\nPresentation by Regina Bell\n\nWebinar recording: \n \nPromoting Voter Engagement and Protecting Voter Rights\nThursday\, November 19\, 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET\nAlthough the COVID-19 pandemic has recently focused public attention on access to the ballot\, people of color have faced systemic barriers to voting since our nation’s founding. Political disenfranchisement results in a loss of power—the power to elect representatives with shared values and the power to advance policy priorities\, such as investments in education\, criminal justice reform\, safe and affordable housing\, and access to health care. This session reviewed effective strategies for increasing voter participation through integrated voter engagement\, policy advocacy\, and litigation; consider philanthropic trends in support for these activities; and explore the role of health funders in the civic engagement ecosystem. \n\nDay 2 Opening Slides\nPresentation by Alexis Anderson-Reed\nPresentation by Tanya Clay-House\n\nWebinar recording: \n \nAdvancing Health through Civic Engagement: Health Funders Weigh In\nFriday\, November 20\, 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET\nCivic engagement activities\, such as voting\, volunteering\, and community organizing\, are essential to the health of our democracy and a growing evidence base suggests these activities may also influence the health of individuals and communities. Health funders are increasingly recognizing that investments in civic engagement are necessary to advance population health goals related to health equity\, access to care\, and the social determinants of health. This facilitated discussion with health funders who have committed resources to civic engagement efforts explored why and how they have pursued these strategies\, review the processes used to make and monitor these funding decisions\, and consider the key lessons learned along the way. \n\nDay 3 Opening Slides\n\nWebinar recording:

SUMMARY:2020 Fall Forum: Food for a Healthier America
DESCRIPTION:Food for a Healthier America examined current food access and security policy\, the gaps and challenges laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic\, the opportunities for positive policy change\, and philanthropy’s role in creating a more equitable and just food system. \nFood for a Healthier America Agenda \nWhat Now? Opportunities to Improve Food Access and Security Policy\nMonday\, November 16\, 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET\nThe last year has seen significant challenges for communities and families being able to access healthy food. From efforts to reduce the federal food safety net to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic\, the country is having to seriously examine its food policies. This session discussed the current state of federal food and nutrition policy\, the potential impact of the 2020 election on the policy agenda\, the implications for communities\, and the opportunities and challenges funders should be prepared to navigate moving forward into 2021 and beyond. \nPresentations: \n\nOpening Slides and Day 1 Overview\nPresentation by Stacy Dean\n\n \nAdvancing Together to Address Food Equity and Justice\nTuesday\, November 17\, 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET\nThe COVID-19 pandemic and the civil uprisings stemming from police violence have elevated the continued inequities in food access and security for communities of color. While the challenges these communities face are not new\, the events of 2020 have given these issues greater weight and urgency. Food is an urgent health challenge and an important social issue for Black\, Indigenous\, Persons of Color (BIPOC) communities. This session addressed the food needs of BIPOC communities; the opportunities to support equitable food policies; and ways philanthropy can authentically partner with BIPOC communities to champion policy changes\, both large and small\, that create a more equitable and just food system. \nPresentations: \n\nDay 2 Opening Slides\nPresentation by Kolu Zigbi\nPresentation by Ma’raj Sheikh\nPresentation by Michaele N. Turnage Young\n\n \nLearning from 2020: Investing in a Better Food System\nThursday\, November 19\, 1:00 -2:30 pm ET\nWhile it is easy to get lost in national trends and large systems change\, 2020 has laid bare the gaps in and inadequacies for our local and regional food systems. Whether it is the inability to transport healthy food to rural communities in need\, the challenges facing workers and smaller producers\, or examples of food waste\, it is apparent that investments are needed at the local level. This session focused on how funders of all sizes can move their grantmaking strategies further upstream to build a better system. \nPresentations: \n\nDay 3 Opening Slides\nPresentation by Richard Pirog\nPresentation by Abbey Piner\nPresentation by Marcus Coleman

SUMMARY:Health\, Housing\, Equity\, Race and Power Funders Convening
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Neighborhood Funders Group\, The California Endowment\, Colorado Health Foundation\, Ford Foundation\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, Kresge Foundation\, Missouri Foundation for Health\, New York State Health Foundation\, Northwest Health Foundation\, Richmond Memorial Health Foundation\, and Shelterforce. \nHousing is one of the best-researched social determinants of health\, and housing interventions for low-income and communities of color have been found to improve health outcomes\, as well as prevent homelessness. Across the country\, community residents and institutions are collaborating\, organizing\, and passing policies to protect renters and preserve and expand affordable housing. Yet\, from rural to urban\, and from hot to cool markets\, low-income individuals and families continue to struggle. \nWhat role are health funders playing in strengthening the voice\, influence\, and power of low-income residents and communities of color at the local\, regional\, and state levels? How are health funders engaged with community members and advocates to create investment strategies designed to build capacity for coalition work\, advocacy\, organizing\, and community power\, positioning these communities to engage at a policy and systems change level for sustained impact? \nJoin us for this strategy session designed to continue conversations initiated at the Neighborhood Funders Group (NFG) session “Catalyzing a Movement for Health and Housing” at Grantmakers In Health’s 2019 annual conference in Seattle\, where nearly 90 funders attended a panel discussion on how philanthropy can invest in community housing solutions. \nMore Information and Registration
