SUMMARY:Rethinking Democracy through Electoral Reform
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation\, Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers\, Economic Opportunity Funders\, Environmental Grantmakers Association\, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees\, Health and Environmental Funders Network\, Neighborhood Funders’ Group\, Philanthropy New York\, United Philanthropy Forum\, and Women Donors Network \nThere are currently electoral reform efforts being mounted across the country to counter gerrymandering\, increase voter participation\, overcome zero-sum polarization\, and advance a reflective and representative democracy. Ranked choice voting (RCV) and Fair Representation are reforms that attempt to address these challenges and help build a culture of participation and broad engagement that allows diverse and marginalized communities to make a difference on issues that impact their lives. With RCV already implemented in dozens of cities—and RCV and Fair Representation being proposed at more local and state levels—this webinar explored the current landscape of these reforms\, highlighted benefits seen from them\, and showed how funders are promoting these efforts.

SUMMARY:Caregiving: What Communities Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Arizona Age-Friendly Network and Grantmakers In Aging \nWith few supports and services available to family caregivers\, their time\, resources\, health\, and well-being are increasingly strained. No matter where people are in the journey of family caregiving—just beginning to anticipate a need\, helping to coordinate a care transition\, or taking care of a family member full time—having a good framework to help guide both caregivers and communities makes the process easier and will significantly improve health outcomes for care recipients and caregivers alike. This webinar was a conversation with Dana Marie Kennedy\, State Director of AARP Arizona\, and taught how communities can adapt to the needs of family caregivers and provide the resources needed to support people aging in place. \nRelated Content\n\nCaregiving Webinar Description Feb 2018 – PDF document\, 294 KB

SUMMARY:Policy Strategies to Reduce the Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages
DESCRIPTION:A growing body of evidence suggests that sugar-sweetened beverages are a significant contributor to obesity and multiple chronic illnesses\, including diabetes\, heart disease\, and poor oral health. In response\, states and municipalities have considered several policy solutions\, including taxes\, to de-incentivize and reduce the consumption of these unhealthy beverages. This webinar covered the latest: the wide range of policy options being pursued\, the current state of sugar-sweetened tax campaigns and tax policy implementation\, the returns on investment sugar-sweetened beverage policy efforts have for foundations and their communities\, and how grantmakers of all sizes and levels of policy experience can become involved in efforts to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Speakers included Tessa Hale of Boulder County Public Health Department\, Jim Krieger of Healthy Food America\, and Anna Lappe of Panta Rhea Foundation. \nAdditional Resources: \nwww.healthyfoodamerica.org \nRelated Content\n\nSugar Sweetened Beverages Slides – PDF document\, 2344 KB

SUMMARY:Incorporating Harm Reduction Strategies in Behavioral Health Grantmaking
DESCRIPTION:Heightened attention to the opioid epidemic has led more health funders to consider integrating a broader range of strategies in behavioral health efforts. Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies—including overdose prevention\, syringe exchange\, and safer consumption spaces—aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use\, as well as addressing conditions of trauma\, stigma\, and social justice. Funders on this webinar discussed best practices\, gaps\, and emerging issues in applying harm reduction policies to substance use grantmaking. Speakers included Daniel Raymond of the Harm Reduction Coalition and Jamie Wood of Open Society Foundations \nRelated Content\n\nIncorporating Harm Reduction Strategies in Behavioral Health Grantmaking Slides – PDF document\, 334 KB

SUMMARY:Food Is Medicine: Research\, Policy\, & State of the Field
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems Funders \nIn response to the strong links between poor nutrition and many illnesses\, community-based organizations and the philanthropic community have developed a range of innovative efforts to provide healthy\, nutritionally appropriate food to prevent or address specific health conditions. On this webinar\, participants learned about the “food is medicine” approach and its historical roots\, the state of the science\, details of a new three-year study funded by California’s legislature\, and how “food is medicine” has evolved into a national effort to make medically-tailored meals an essential health benefit.

Speakers included Cathryn Couch of Ceres Community Project\, Melody Meyer of United Natural Foods Foundation\, Rita Nguyen of UCSF School of Medicine\, and Alissa Wassung of Food Is Medicine Coalition.

SUMMARY:Measure Something: Evaluation for Everybody
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Empire Health Foundation and Grantmakers In Aging \nThe importance and availability of data has never been higher than today. All too often\, however\, data analysis is viewed as the domain of specialists\, limiting opportunities for learning. Although randomized controlled trials and external evaluations remain the gold standard\, there are easier ways to collect empirical data that can be used to improve decisionmaking. This presentation takes as its starting point Dr. Atul Gawande’s charge: “If you count something you find interesting\, you will learn something interesting.” Funders reviewed a simple yet effective measurement approach for senior health\,  followed by an interactive exercise to practice and build confidence. Speakers included John Feather of Grantmakers In Aging and Mike Yeaton of Empire Health Foundation.

SUMMARY:Justice for All: Is Criminal Justice Reform Leaving Immigrants Behind?
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Colorado Association of Funders\, Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers\, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees\, Grantmakers of Oregon & Southwest Washington\, Hispanics in Philanthropy\, International Human Rights Funders Group\, Northern California Grantmakers\, and Southern California Grantmakers \nIn many states across the United States\, there has been significant progress in criminal justice reform\, including on sentencing\, parole\, and smart-on-crime policies to reduce incarceration rates.

On this webinar\, funders learned more about the intersections between criminal justice and immigration systems\, how the criminal justice reform and immigrant rights communities are responding\, and what funders are doing. Speakers included Jojo Annobil of Immigrant Justice Corps\, Alan Jenkins of Opportunity Agenda\, Kevin Ring of Families Against Mandatory Minimums\, and Ana Yáñez-Correa of Public Welfare Foundation.

SUMMARY:Community Water Fluoridation: Lessons for Improving Philanthropic Policy Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, foundations are looking to policy solutions as a strategic and effective means to create lasting\, meaningful change. However\, policy advocacy can be a challenge\, depending on the issue and an organization’s tolerance for risk—particularly in partisan climates. Community water fluoridation\, an evidence-based\, highly effective public health intervention that improves oral health and reduces health disparities\, is an issue health philanthropy has partnered with state and local champions with varying degrees of success. Successful efforts avoid classical partisan divisions despite environments that can become highly contentious. However\, win or lose\, significant lessons are learned and experience gained. After many years of this policy work\, there is a sizable body of work for health grantmakers to reflect on. \nThis webinar discussed where community water fluoridation stands today\, the lessons learned for philanthropy\, how policy campaigns can successfully engage on public health issues in a bipartisan manner\, and recommendations for next steps to continue moving community water fluoridation efforts forward. Speakers included: Matt Jacob of Jacob Strategies\, David Johnson formerly of Arkansas State Senate\, and Hollis Russinof of American Academy of Pediatrics. \nAdditional Resources: \n\nReport on Pew & Fluoridation Advocacy\n\nRelated Content\n\nFluoridation Webinar Slides – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 16574 KB
