DESCRIPTION:When: \nFebruary 13 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern/1:00 p.m. Central/Noon Mountain/11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nMarion Standish\, The California Endowment\nAriane Lotti\, National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition\nBrian Snyder\, Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture\nAngie Tagtow\, Environmental Nutrition Solutions\n\nWhat: \nShort-sighted food safety regulation focused on the immediate public health and food safety concerns of today could have devastating long-term effects and unintended consequences. Steps need to be taken to ensure that such regulations protect public health while also ensuring farmers of diverse scales can stay in business. In 2010\, Congress passed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) — the first major overhaul to our nation’s food safety laws since the 1930s. With the aim of improving food safety\, Congress included a number of key provisions to ensure that regulations work for sustainable food and agriculture systems. On this webinar\, funders learned how the FSMA and pending FDA regulations will affect local and regional food systems that are vital to the public’s health now and in the future. \n

SUMMARY:February Kids' Access Funders Network Call
DESCRIPTION:When: \nTuesday\, February 5\, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. ET \nWho: \n\nJoe Touschner\, Georgetown Center for Children and Families\nMeg Comeau\, The Catalyst Center\n\nWhat: \nThe Affordable Care Act (ACA) established a minimum set of services\, called the essential health benefits (EHB)\, that all health plans in the individual and small group markets must offer starting in 2014. The ACA included 10 broad categories of services that the EHB must cover\, including emergency services\, preventive services\, maternity and newborn care\, and prescription drugs\, but left what should be covered within these categories up to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In November 2012 HHS published a proposed rule outlining standards relating to EHB packages\, and a timeline for when issuers offering coverage in a federally facilitated exchange or state partnership exchange must become accredited. On this Kids’ Access Funders Network call participants learned more about the framework that states will use to create EHB plans\, the implications for children and families\, including children with special health care needs\, and next steps. \nRelated Content\n\nDefining EHB – PDF document\, 221 KB\nTouschner Presentation – PDF document\, 297 KB\nComeau Presentation – PDF document\, 96 KB

SUMMARY:Enrolling Young Adults: Outreach and Education Strategies From The Field
DESCRIPTION:GIH Health Reform Resource Center Fund Audioconference \nWhen: \nDecember 5\, 2012 at 2:00 pm Eastern/1:00 pm Central/12:00 pm Mountain/11:00 am Pacific \nWho: \n\nAaron Smith\, Young Invincibles\nKimberley Chin\, The Atlantic Philanthropies\nChris Kelly\, California Health Benefit Exchange\n\nWhat: \nHealth foundations are poised to play a significant role in supporting state and local efforts to enroll all eligible residents into health insurance exchanges. Nearly 17 million low-income young adults will gain health insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act\, either through Medicaid expansion programs or by become eligible for subsidies to purchase health insurance in the exchanges. Enrolling this demographic is critical to the overall success of health care reform yet young adults have historically been difficult to reach. On this webinar\, we heard from Aaron Smith who shared Young Invincibles’ upcoming national youth enrollment and education campaign; Kimberly Chin of The Atlantic Philanthropies who discussed the foundation perspective on youth outreach and education\, and the potential to involve state grantees in this work; and Chris Kelly of the California Health Benefit Exchange who discussed some of California’s plans to reach out to and enroll young adults in the state exchange. \nRelated Content\n\nKelly Presentation – PDF document\, 1606 KB\nSmith Presentation – PDF document\, 840 KB

SUMMARY:Protecting Our Nation's Public Health Successes: Community Water Fluoridation
DESCRIPTION:GIH Oral Health Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nFriday\, November 2\, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern /1:00 p.m. Central /12:00 p.m. Mountain /11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nMatt Jacob\, Pew Children’s Dental Campaign\nTracy Dannen Grace\, Kaiser Permanente Foundation\nCatherine Hayes\, Health Resources In Action\nPeter Mitchell\, SalterMitchell\n\nWhat: \nOver the years\, the United States has invested in a number of successful public health programs that have resulted in positive health outcomes for millions of people. Community water fluoridation\, hailed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as one of the 20th Century’s greatest public health achievements\, is a safe\, cost-effective\, and socially equitable intervention that has been critical to reducing the prevalence of dental caries\, or tooth decay\, especially for our nation’s children. Despite the strong body of evidence\, fluoridation\, like many public health programs\, is being opposed by a highly motivated and organized grassroots movement. \nUsing fluoridation as an example\, this webinar explored how funders can address these real challenges to our nation’s public health institutions and build support for their continued existence and expansion. \nRelated Content\n\nJacob Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 6042 KB\nDannen Grace Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 776 KB\nMitchell Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 2664 KB\nHayes Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 419 KB

SUMMARY:Aligning Our National Narratives During an Election Year and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsors: Economic Opportunity Funders; Grantmakers for Children\, Youth & Families; and Grantmakers In Health \nWho: \n\nRichard Kirsch\, Senior Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute\, Senior Adviser to USAction and USAction Education Fund\, and Progressive Economic Narrative Group\nJared Bernstein\, Senior Fellow\, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\nMeg Bostrom\, Founder\, Public Knowledge & Topos Partnership\nPatrick Bresette\, Director of Programs\, Public Works\nFrank Clemente\, Campaign Director\, Americans for Tax Fairness\nMelissa Boteach\, Director\, Poverty and Prosperity Program for Center for American Progress and Director\, Half in Ten for Center for American Progress Action Fund\nKatie Paris\, Senior Vice President\, Media Matters\n\nWhat: \nThere is a tremendous amount of communications and outreach work going on to support state policy and advocacy networks actively working to engage in and inform the ongoing national debates over debt\, deficit reduction and budget and tax decisions. Federal and state governments continue to face critical decisions to cut crucial public services and raise revenues which will have profound and lasting consequences for all Americans\, especially low-income families and children. This will inevitably be a component of national and state election conversations and be addressed by Congress and state legislatures in early 2013. \nSeveral key communications partners have developed larger national narratives around the economy and role of government to support messaging across issues and positively influence federal and state policy and practice to build a healthy public sector\, and create positive\, long-term outcomes for families and communities. These narratives\, our current fiscal debates and election-year messaging are all coming to a head in the next few months. In response\, the Communications Collaborative held a webinar to share the alignment of larger narratives around government and the economy and to provide state policy and advocacy networks access to the information and tools available to support their work.

SUMMARY:A Strategic “Field Building” Approach to Advocacy Investments
DESCRIPTION:A Strategic “Field Building” Approach to Advocacy Investments \nWhen: \nThursday\, September 20\, 2012 3:00 p.m. Eastern/2:00 p.m. Central/1:00 p.m. Mountain/Noon Pacific \nWho: \n\nTanya Beer\, Center for Evaluation Innovation\nNancy B. Csuti\, The Colorado Trust\nDeborah Schachter\, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation\n\nWhat: \nRather than focusing on short-term policy objectives\, grantmakers are increasingly striving to build the entire field of policy advocacy in order to ensure long-term relevance and effectiveness. These strategic investments seek to develop sustainable\, adaptive advocacy capacity capable of responding to complex political dynamics\, shaping the policy agenda\, and advancing a variety of evolving policy goals now and into the future. This “field building” approach to advocacy grantmaking demands a new way of thinking about how to structure funding\, which grantees to select\, what role the program officer fills with partners and allies\, and what outcomes and signals of progress to measure. This webinar examined the key dimensions of a strong advocacy field\, reviewed how funders can diagnose gaps or weaknesses in an integrated field\, and explored grantmaking strategies that help grantees contribute to and benefit from the field’s collective capacity. \nRelated Content\n\nWelcome – PDF document\, 403 KB\nBeer Presentation – PDF document\, 196 KB\nCsuti Presentation – PDF document\, 28 KB\nSchachter Presentation – PDF document\, 24 KB
