Roundtable Discussion for Health Funders’ Policy Staff
VirtualA growing number of health funders employ staff whose responsibilities focus exclusively or predominantly on public policy engagement. Do you lead your organization’s policy or government affairs work? During our roundtable discussion we connected with peers, explored pressing issues, and shared experiences to engage communities in setting funders’ policy priorities. Between calls, members interact with one another in GIH’s online learning community for policy staff.

From Intractable to Solvable: Narrative Change as a Strategy for Firearm Violence Prevention
VirtualFirearm violence is a public health crisis, but the story we hear often is of intractability, “too entrenched”, “politically frozen”, “too big to move”. That framing suppresses both public will and philanthropic investment because a problem believed to be unsolvable rarely attracts the resources to solve it. This two-part series makes a distinction that matters for how funders act. A story is a single account, but a narrative is the deeper frame that tells audiences what every story means. Changing that frame is slow, cumulative work, and it is a long-term strategy. Part I examines why narrative change is hard and long, and how solutions-focused journalism shifts public understanding of firearm violence and reframes the crisis as solvable. Part II shares examples of funder support around journalism, data infrastructure, and grantee stories as ways health funders can invest in the frame shift alongside their direct FVP grantmaking efforts.
