SUMMARY:Roles for Health Funders in Ensuring the Equitable Distribution of COVID-19 Vaccine
DESCRIPTION:As the COVID-19 vaccine becomes available\, it is imperative that the vaccine is equitably distributed. National guidance for equitable vaccine distribution has been developed by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the National Academy of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine. However\, states will be primarily responsible for distributing vaccines\, including identifying priority populations\, identifying networks of providers who will administer vaccines\, developing data and reporting systems to track distribution\, and coordinating communications efforts to promote vaccine acceptance. In this interactive discussion\, funders learned more about the status of states’ implementation plans and how health funders can aid states in meeting the ethical and logistical challenges to equitable vaccine distribution during all phases of the vaccination effort. Speakers included Michael Fraser of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials and Julie Morita of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. \nHighlighted Resources and Additional Material: \n\nUnderstanding Diverse Communities and Supporting Equitable and Informed COVID-19 Vaccination Decision-Making (NACCHO\, ASTHO\, NIHB\, AIM\, IVS)\nAddressing Hesitancy and Mistrust in Black and Latinx Communities (NAACP and Unidos US)\nLanguage to Improve Vaccine Acceptance (de Beaumont Foundation)\nBuilding Trust in and Access to a COVID-19 Vaccine Within Communities of Color and Tribal Nations (TFAH)\nVaccine Equity webinar (Health Forward Foundation)\nPublic Health Communications Collaborative resources\nEnvironmental Scan of Public Health Priorities (ASTHO)\n\nWebinar Recording:

SUMMARY:Complex Needs Through a Health Equity Lens: What Can Philanthropy Actually Do?
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nThe health and well-being of those who have faced a lifetime of structural racism are impacted much more strongly than other groups\, especially as they age; for example\, Black older people are dying from COVID-19 at 3.6 times the rate of older whites. Philanthropy has responded to many immediate needs\, but inequities will continue if the system of discrimination in the social determinants of health does not change. Strong philanthropic investment at the systems level will be required if we are to see fundamental changes. \nParticipants learned about specific efforts to link a systems approach with activities on the ground and to discuss examples of how local communities can make a difference in the lives of those that are usually left behind. Speakers included Carly Hare of Change Philanthropy and Kathryn Lawler of Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement. \nWebinar recording:

SUMMARY:Confronting the Health and Equity Challenges of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Health and Environmental Funders Network and Climate and Energy Funders Group \nCommunities of color and economically challenged communities have deep experience confronting multifaceted and interrelated challenges\, which can often fall outside funders’ siloed health\, social\, environmental\, or other objectives. Yet communities most impacted by climate change are building power\, forging critical alliances\, and generating community capital\, innovation\, and systems of mutual support. There are new solutions being pioneered for community health and resilience in the face of climate change and there are new funding strategies to support these efforts. This webinar featured stories and recommendations of community leaders driving this movement. Speakers included Kimberly Lyle of Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation\, Roger Perez of The Roy & Patricia Disney Family Foundation\, Liz Russell of Foundation for Louisiana\, Mona Sarfaty of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health\, Kirsten Shead of Milwaukee Water Commons\, and Taylor Thomas of East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice. \nThis webinar was part of the Health and Environmental Funders Network’s 2020 annual convening. \n \n

SUMMARY:Implementing a Scalable Strategy for Reducing COVID Infections\, Hospitalizations\, and Deaths Among Older Adults and Other High-Risk Populations: CV19 CheckUp
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nCOVID-19’s impact on older adults and the public policy confusion over treatment options has shown that we need new ways to reach a much larger audience with consistent\, scientifically-based information. CV19 CheckUp is a new consumer-facing decision-support service designed to educate millions of high-risk Americans about their COVID-related risks and how to mitigate them. On this webinar\, a statewide aging director discussed why they adopted the service and a foundation president described how philanthropy is helping to contribute to the widespread diffusion of this innovation. Speakers included James Firman of BellAge\, Inc.; Nora OBrien-Suric of Health Foundation of Western and Central New York; and Greg Olsen of New York State Office on Aging. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Learning from New State Initiatives in Financing Long-Term Services and Supports
DESCRIPTION: Cosponsored with Grantmakers In Aging \nOne of the biggest challenges facing individuals\, families\, and policymakers is how to pay for long-term services and supports. Current federal policies do not adequately meet the needs of individuals and communities\, which has caused several pioneering states to move forward with innovative new approaches to financing these vital supports and services. Participants learned the efforts of six such states\, including the important lessons\, opportunities\, and challenges they have faced in moving reform initiatives forward. On this webinar\, leaders explored the role of philanthropy in pursuing systems reform at the local and state levels. Speakers included Marc Cohen of UMass Boston and Community Catalyst\, Ann Hwang of Community Catalyst\, Bea Rector of Washington State’s Home and Community Services Division and Aging and Long-Term Support Administration\, and Nina Weiler-Harwell of AARP California. \nPowerPoint Presentations: \n\nB.

SUMMARY:Save the Census: A Final Push for a Fair and Accurate Count
DESCRIPTION:Delays and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have had a significant impact on 2020 Census operations. Deadlines for census completion\, apportionment of congressional seats\, and delivery of redistricting data are uncertain pending legislative and judicial intervention. Without additional time for the Census Bureau to complete the count and conduct robust data quality reviews\, communities of color\, American Indians\, low income populations\, rural communities\, and homeless people are likely to be undercounted and underrepresented for the next decade. This webinar featured a timely status update on census response\, advocacy\, and litigation efforts to ensure a fair and accurate census\, and to discuss funding strategies to evaluate and address the quality of the data. Speakers included Karen Narasaki of the Bauman Foundation and Tara Westman of The California Endowment. \n

SUMMARY:State and Local Budgets: The Next COVID-19 Battlefront
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Chesapeake Bay Funders Network\, Children Youth & Family Funders Roundtable\, Council of New Jersey Grantmakers\, Economic Opportunity Funders\, Environmental Grantmakers Association\, Funders Together to End Homelessness\, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees\, Grantmakers for Thriving Youth\, Maryland Philanthropy Network\, Philanthropy New York\, United Philanthropy Forum\, and Workforce Matters \n The pandemic and economic fallout are placing significant strains on state and local budgets\, costing millions to contain the disease and driving sharp declines in income and sales tax revenues. State budget shortfalls are predicted to total to a cumulative $555 billion over state fiscal years 2020-2022. This does not include the additional shortfalls local and tribal governments and US territories face. Unlike the federal government\, most states and localities must balance their budgets every year. Large budget shortfalls\, dwindling rainy day funds\, and insufficient federal relief will leave policymakers facing tough choices about raising taxes and fees\, cutting spending on critical programs like education and health care\, and imposing layoffs on public employees. We know from experience how deep spending cuts and long-term austerity policies can slow down the recovery and cause further harm to families and communities\, with disproportionate impacts on immigrants\, tribal nations\, communities of color\, and women. \nOn this webinar\, participants learned more about the state and local fiscal crisis\, lessons learned from the Great Recession\, key principles for an equitable response\, and how state and local advocates are gearing up for the budget battles to come. Speakers included Marcela Díaz of Somos Un Pueblo Unido\, Julie Gonzales of the Colorado General Assembly’s Senate Finance Committee\, Caitlin Hamood of the Stoneman Family Foundations\, and Erica Williams of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

SUMMARY:If Not Now\, When? Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the social determinants of health has become a major focus of health care organizations\, which are determining how to best partner with community-based organizations in order to improve outcomes for patients of all ages. The reality is that health systems\, payers\, social services\, and community-based organizations must learn how to come together to address social and behavioral determinants of health. Participants learned key recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine report\, “Integrating Social Care into the Delivery of Health Care: Moving Upstream to Improve the Nation’s Health.” Speakers discussed how social services can—and in some settings are—being integrated into clinical care; the infrastructure needed to make it happen; and how foundations might play a role. Speakers included Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo of University of California: San Francisco\, Robyn Golden of Rush University Medical Center\, and Dawn Simonson of Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging. \nD.

SUMMARY:Philanthropy’s Role in Fostering Grantee Resilience and Managing Secondary Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees \nPerhaps now more than ever\, nonprofit organizations working with vulnerable communities are operating under tremendous stress during a period of significant political and cultural volatility. From the nationwide reckoning with racial injustice\, to the global COVID-19 pandemic\, to extreme rhetoric and policy attacks on immigrants\, the staff of the organizations serving traumatized communities are often themselves victims of secondary trauma (commonly referred to as “vicarious trauma” or “compassion fatigue”). Impacting professionals in a range of roles from case manager\, to lawyer\, to medical provider\, and across a variety of populations including immigrants\, children\, and incarcerated persons\, secondary trauma can lead to burnout\, turnover\, and decreased organizational efficacy. As philanthropy underwrites the core work of these organizations\, it is critical that funders understand the implications of secondary trauma on the people behind the work. How can philanthropy support grantee wellness and sustainability? What practices are already being adopted? On this webinar\, leaders from the field released findings and recommendation for action from our recently concluded national research project on secondary trauma. Speakers included Kristen L. Guskovict of Heart of Aid Work\, Nora Phillips of Al Otro Lado\, Miriam Potocky of Florida International University\, and Yasmin Yonis of Justice for Muslims Collective. The webinar was moderated by Monika Parikh of Partnerships for Trauma Recovery.

SUMMARY:Is 2020 Over? Responding to Multiple Disasters Amid COVID-19 and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Center for Disaster Philanthropy\, Philanthropy California\, and United Philanthropy Forum \nThe beginning of the year is usually a slower time\, but 2020 began as it meant to go on: with continual disasters all existing within the context of the global pandemic. It has also been a year when climate change has given us urgent reminders of its impact on disasters. In this webinar\, the Center for Disaster Philanthropy reflected on lessons learned\, challenges and opportunities presented by different disasters— particularly wildfires\, hurricanes and the derecho—and how COVID-19 has framed the response. The team shared insights from our response to the global pandemic and how climate change has affected the disaster landscape. Grantmakers and donors heard about some of the fantastic organizations doing critical work on the ground and how they can support response and recovery in ways that prioritize communities of color and other vulnerable populations during these challenging times. Speakers included Brennan Banks\, Tanya Gulliver-Garcia\, and Sally Ray of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy\, and Cari Cullen from the Midwest Early Recovery Fund.  \nClick here to read more details \nWebinar Recording:

SUMMARY:COVID-19\, Drug Policy\, and Racial Justice
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Funders Concerned About AIDS and Substance Use Disorders Funders Collaborative  \nAmid the coronavirus pandemic and calls for police reform\, the United States continues to face an epidemic of drug overdoses and substance use.

This webinar featured a discussion on federal\, state\, and local efforts to strengthen social safety nets and expand access to effective overdose prevention and harm reduction interventions\, such as safe injection sites\, syringe exchange services\, naloxone distribution\, and fentanyl testing. Participants had an opportunity to share information\, seek guidance\, and discuss strategies at the intersection of health equity\, behavioral health\, and COVID-19 response.

This work has intensified over the past several months as many in our nation\, heartbroken and outraged by recent and continuing acts of violence against Black people and other communities of color\, have demanded equity and justice.

SUMMARY:Turning the Tide on Critical Coverage Losses
DESCRIPTION:Recent estimates confirm that the COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic downturn are causing the most significant health insurance coverage losses in this country’s history.
