SUMMARY:Achieving Mission Through Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:Who: \n\nLisa Richter\, GPS Capital Partners\nPhilip Belcher\, Mary Black Foundation\nMargaret Laws\, California HealthCare Foundation\n\nWhat: \nFoundation resources are scarce relative to both philanthropy’s aims and society’s needs. Effective philanthropy\, therefore\, levers resources as fully as possible\, including impact investment strategies\, which offer funders tremendous power to reach a type or scale of social impact not achieved through grantmaking alone. \nLast month\, GIH released Guide to Impact Investing\, which presents a framework to help funders think strategically about the potential of impact investing\, part of a growing practice that incorporates environmental\, social\, and governance criteria into investment decisionmaking. The guide provides an overview of what impact investing is and how it may enhance foundation work\, steps to plan and implement an impact investing program\, investment options\, and potential challenges. \nOn this audioconference\, participants heard Lisa Richter of GPS Capital Partners\, as well as Philip Belcher and Margaret Laws\, who have used impact investing strategies as tools to help achieve their foundations’ missions. \nRelated Content\n\nGIH Guide To Impact Investing – PDF document\, 730 KB

SUMMARY:Constructing Grantmaking Strategies in Challenging Times
DESCRIPTION:GIH Health Reform Resource Center \nWhen: \nTuesday\, July 12\, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central / 12:00 p.m. Mountain / 11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWhat: \nMany health foundations are operating in regions where the state government is resistant to implementing the Affordable Care Act\, and where major cuts to the health care safety net are being proposed or passed. For these funders\, it would be useful to share strategies with colleagues from across the country who are in similar positions. \nShould the foundation help build analytic capacity among advocates and foster the development of credible\, neutral voices in state and local budget debates? Assist in developing and disseminating messages that resonate with the public and create an imperative for policymakers to act? Fund public awareness and organizing campaigns to implement specific reforms? Work with nonhealth funders so that policies focus on improving well-being overall\, rather than creating a zero-sum game among different health and human service providers? \nOn this audioconference\, participants talked to their colleagues about ideas and efforts to construct short- and long-term grantmaking strategies in challenging times. The discussion was led by Kim VanPelt of St. Luke’s Health Initiatives\, a Phoenix-based public foundation focused on Arizona health policy and strength-based community development. \n**This audioconference was made possible by generous contributions to the GIH Health Reform Resource Center Fund.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Relationship Between Community Organizing and Health Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Who: \n\nJim Keddy\, The California Endowment\nScott Reed\, PICO National Network\n\nWhat: \nCommunity organizing and advocacy are often described as intrinsically related yet fundamentally distinct strategies to bring about societal change. While health funders are increasingly active in advocating for public policies that advance community health\, investments in community organizing have been less widely pursued. Highlighting the grant making experiences of The California Endowment\, this webinar will review the basic goals and methods of community organizing\, consider opportunities for improved linkages between community organizers and health advocates\, and explore how health funders can support community organizing efforts. \nRelated Content\n\nReed Presentation – PDF document\, 2592 KB\nKeddy Presentation – PDF document\, 893 KB

SUMMARY:The NPA: Supporting Collective Impact on Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:GIH Disparities Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nJuly 7\, 2011 at 1:00 pm Eastern/12:00 pm Central/11:00 am Mountain/10:00 am Pacific \nWho: \n\nMirtha Beadle\, Deputy Director\, Office of Minority Health\, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)\nJamie Hart\, Director\, Knowledge Transfer and Technical Assistance Practice Area\, Altarum Institute\nKien Lee\, Principal Associate/Vice President\, Community Science\nDavid R. Williams\, Florence and Laura Norman Professor of Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health\n\nWhat: \nThe National Partnership for Action to End Health Disparities (NPA) was developed with the mission of mobilizing and connecting individuals and organizations across the country to create a nation in which all people have a chance to reach their full health potential. The NPA represents a critical step forward in combating health disparities by bringing together multisectoral stakeholders whose work influences health\, either directly or indirectly. \nAs part of the NPA\, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released two companion documents designed to guide implementation and collaboration through the NPA. National Stakeholder Strategy for Achieving Health Equity serves as a roadmap for increasing the effectiveness and strength of programs. Its purpose is to guide stakeholders at the federal\, regional\, state\, and local levels in adopting the most effective goals\, strategies\, and action steps for their communities. HHS Action Plan for Reducing Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities builds upon the Affordable Care Act’s efforts to transform health care. It also seeks to support efforts to strengthen the health workforce\, promote healthy behaviors and strengthen community-based programs\, advance knowledge and innovation\, and increase HHS’ ability to address health disparities and ensure health equity. This webinar provided an overview of the NPA\, including discussions regarding how philanthropic organizations can engage with other entities and sectors through the NPA for greater collective impact on achieving health equity. \nBelow are links to information about the NPA and the plans that were discussed:\nhttps://www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov/npa/ \nhttps://www.minorityhealth.hhs.gov/npa/templates/browse.aspx?lvl=1&lvlid=33 \nRelated Content\n\nOffice of Minority Health Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 1469 KB

SUMMARY:Preventing Bullying: It Is Time to Take a Stand
DESCRIPTION:GIH Maternal and Child Health Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nWednesday\, June 22\, 2011 at 2:30 p.m. Eastern/1:30 p.m. Central/12:30 p.m. Mountain/11:30 p.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nCaptain Stephanie Bryn\, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services\, Health Resources and Services Administration\nYvonne Cook\, Highmark Foundation\nNancy Csuti\, The Colorado Trust\n\nWhat: \nBullying goes well beyond the occasional squabbles and fights that children and youth may experience as they age. Instead\, it represents an imbalance in power that often manifests through intentional\, harmful behavior that may be repeated over time. Bullying may occur through physical\, verbal\, or\, increasingly in recent years\, cyber activities. \nOn this webinar\, participants learned more about bullying\, including the effects and ramifications it has on the lives of the people it touches. Presentations included effective programs and strategies geared toward its prevention\, including the federal government’s “Stop Bullying Now!” campaign and Federal Partners Steering Committee activities\, as well as foundation-sponsored prevention efforts. Additional opportunities for philanthropic support of bullying prevention were also explored. \nRelated Content\n\nHRSA Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 9104 KB\nColorado Trust Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 235 KB\nHighmark Foundation Presentation – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 567 KB

SUMMARY:The Relationship between Food Access\, Food Insecurity\, and Obesity
DESCRIPTION:GIH Healthy Eating/Active Living Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nThursday\, June 16\, 2011\, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central / 12:00 p.m. Mountain / 11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nChristine Olson\, Institute of Medicine Workshop Planning Committee\, Hunger and Obesity: Understanding a Food Insecurity Paradigm\, and Cornell University\nAllison Bauer\, The Boston Foundation\n\nWhat: \nAccording to the United States Department of Agriculture\, over 17 million U.S. households experienced food insecurity in 2009\, meaning they had difficulty providing enough food for all members at some point during the year. Reasons include financial constraints associated with income and joblessness and limited access to stores with lower prices and a healthy variety of foods. To dive more deeply into these causes and the complex relationship between food access\, food insecurity\, and obesity\, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recently held a workshop titled Hunger and Obesity: Understanding a Food Insecurity Paradigm. On this webinar\, Christine Olson of the workshop’s planning committee examined the evidence connecting food insecurity and food access to obesity. Allison Bauer shared information on The Boston Foundation’s work related to food access and offered recommendations for addressing food insecurity based on Christine’s remarks. \nRelated Content\n\nAllison Bauer Presentation – PDF document\, 715 KB\nChristine Olson Presentation – PDF document\, 221 KB

SUMMARY:Partnership for a Healthier America: A Briefing for Funders
DESCRIPTION:GIH Healthy Eating/Active Living Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nThursday\, June 9\, 2011\, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central / 12:00 p.m. Mountain /11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nLarry Soler\, President and CEO\, Partnership for a Healthier America\nAllison Gertel-Rosenberg\, Nemours\nLoel Solomon\, Kaiser Permanente\n\nWhat: \nAs a partner to First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign\, the Partnership for a Healthier America works alongside the federal government to build industry-specific solutions to fighting obesity that can be measured and tracked. Rather than award grants\, engage in policy discussions\, or develop programmatic activities\, the partnership concentrates on mobilizing leadership from across sectors to take action on reducing childhood obesity (such as WalMart’s recent commitment to sell healthier foods). The partnership emerged out of a series of conversations between The California Endowment\, Kaiser Permanente\, Nemours\, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation\, and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. \nThis webinar reviewed the partnership’s activities to date\, plans for moving forward\, and ideas for engaging the private sector in your community.

SUMMARY:A Health Spending Cap: Implications for Medicaid\, CHIP\, & ACA Implementation
DESCRIPTION:A joint call of the GIH Kids’ Access Funders Network and the GIH Health Reform Resource Center \nEfforts by Congress to rein in the federal budget deficit include a number of plans that significantly reduce spending on key social programs. A recent proposal to cap total federal spending to no more than 20.6 percent of the Gross Domestic Product is attracting a considerable amount of attention. The proposal includes limiting spending on health programs\, which would seriously affect the sustainability and affordability of Medicare\, Medicaid\, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that federal spending on Medicaid would be cut by $547 billion in the first nine years\, a figure that will grow substantially in subsequent decades. Reductions in federal Medicaid spending have major implications for states and their ability to provide health coverage for their low-income residents\, as well as their ability to implement the Affordable Care Act. On this call\, Robert Greenstein\, President of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, discussed the various budget plans before Congress\, and their possible impact on Medicaid and other social programs. \nListed below are several resources\, selected by Dr. Greenstein\, which he thought would be of particular interest to the group: \n\nA Framework for Deficit Reduction: Principles and Cautions\nBalanced Budget Amendment Would Require More Extreme Cuts Than Ryan Plan Chief Sponsor Cites Republican Study Committee Budget\, Which Would Cut $9 Trillion Over Next Decade\, as Model\nMedicaid Block Grant Would Shift Financial Risks and Costs to States States Would Bear Impact of Recessions\, Higher Medical Costs\nRepealing Health Reforms Maintenance of Effort Provision Could Cause Millions of Children\, Parents\, Seniors\, and People with Disabilities to Lose Coverage\nChairman Ryan Gets Nearly Two-Thirds of His Huge Budget Cuts From Programs for Lower-Income Americans\nRyan Medicaid Block Grant Would Cause Severe Reductions in Health Care and Long-Term Care for Seniors\, People with Disabilities\, and Children

SUMMARY:Child and Adolescent Health and Health Care Quality: Measuring What Matters
DESCRIPTION:GIH Maternal and Child Health Audioconference Series \nSpeakers: \n\nRosemary Chalk\, Director\, Board on Children\, Youth and Families\, Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council\nCharles J. Homer\, President and Chief Executive Officer\, National Initiative for Children’s Healthcare Quality and\nmember of the IOM Committee on Pediatric Health and Health Care Quality Measures\n\nWhat: \nHealth and health care quality measures can provide valuable information about the health status of children and adolescents\, as well as the outcomes associated with medical care\, policy\, and social programs. Despite the fact that the U.S. government currently supports hundreds of data sets and measures through federal surveys and administrative data systems\, there is no single data source that can provide valid and reliable indicators about the health and health care quality of children and adolescents. In the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009\, Congress directed the Institute of Medicine (IOM) and the National Research Council (NRC) to evaluate efforts to measure child and adolescent health and the quality of their health care services. The IOM\, which released a report April 25\, found that the lack of standardization among data sets\, as well as the lack of information on physical and social environments\, limits researchers’ ability to accurately assess the data. On this call\, funders heard about IOM’s recommendations to standardize and make improvements to data sources and measures of health and health care quality for children and adolescents.

SUMMARY:2011 Annual Meeting on Health Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Agenda \nLos Angeles\, California \nThe 2011 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Annual Meeting on Health Philanthropy Creating a Healthier Future for Our Kids\, Families\, and Communities challenged grantmakers to envision a healthier future for children\, families\, and communities by working on many fronts: creating communities that support healthy choices\, promoting healthy behaviors; improving access to physical and behavioral health services; building a safe\, equitable\, and value-based system of care; and turning knowledge into practice. Health and well-being are shaped by complex and interrelated forces. Knowing this\, how can we ensure our communities are healthy places to live? And how do we work collectively to reach this goal? Today\, it is more important than ever for grantmakers to take action\, create change\, and achieve better health for all. \n\nMEETING REGISTRATION\nRegister by February 4 to avoid late fees. \nRegistration fees are $675 for GIH Funding Partners and $1\,150 for non-Funding Partners. \n\nHOTEL INFORMATION \nJ.W.

SUMMARY:Frameworks for Transforming Systems and Improving Health Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:GIH Disparities Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nWednesday\, February 23\, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central / Noon Mountain / 11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nSteve Galen\, Executive Director\, Primary Care Coalition of Montgomery County\nMargaret O’Bryon\, President and CEO\, Consumer Health Foundation\nJohn Whittington\, Faculty\, Institute for Healthcare Improvement\n\nWhat: \nSignificant work is underway through health reform to improve access\, cost\, quality\, and\, ultimately\, health outcomes for people in this country. Community-based health care providers are also experimenting with real-time\, practice-based changes that show tremendous potential for improving outcomes. To further these advancements\, a collaborative infrastructure for promoting learning is needed. Such a system could be used to rapidly identify\, evaluate\, and promote diffusion of innovation across an array of critical stakeholders\, including patients\, providers\, payers\, and community-based entities. \nThis audioconference provided an overview of the Triple Aim framework for integrative and transformational change\, which was launched under the former leadership of Don Berwick at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. This framework\, recently introduced at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services\, seeks to optimize the experiences of individuals\, and the health and per capita costs for populations. Domestic and international health providers/payers at the forefront of transforming the health system have adopted Triple Aim\, which offers an innovative and adaptive construct for implementing health reform at local\, state\, and regional levels. \nOn the call\, speakers also discussed how the establishment of Regional Learning Centers may be especially useful in supporting improvements in the health of low-income\, diverse patient populations.

With the support of The California Endowment\, a group of national advocacy organizations\, in consultation with a group of national funders\, have written a report “Where the Rubber Meets the Road: Strategies for Successful State Implementation of the Affordable Care Act” that outlines the critical roles state advocates\, national organizations and funders will play in implementation. \nA number of national funders (including The Nathan Cummings Foundation\, The Atlantic Philanthropies\, The California Endowment\, the HJW Foundation\, The Langeloth Foundation\, and the Rockefeller Foundation)\, acting on the report’s recommendations\, have collaborated to create the Affordable Care Act Implementation Fund\, which was launched in January. The fund will provide strategic support to state-based health advocates to ensure effective and consumer-focused implementation of the ACA. The initial round of funding is targeted to sixteen states: California\, Colorado\, Florida\, Illinois\, Maryland\, Massachusetts\, Minnesota\, New Hampshire\, New Jersey\, New York\, North Carolina\, Ohio\, Oregon\, Utah\, Virginia\, and Washington. Additional states may be included as new funding is identified. One of the goals of the Fund is to engage new funders at the state and local level in this effort. \nOn this GIH audioconference\, Robert Phillips from The California Endowment\, Sara Kay from The Nathan Cummings Foundation and Karen Quigley from Community Catalyst discussed both the report and the Fund and ways that foundations may want to consider them in their work and funding decisions. \nMaterials: \nCommunity Catalyst announces the Affordable Care Act Implementation Fund. \nRelated Content\n\nACA Fund Facts – PDF document\, 27 KB

SUMMARY:Adapting to Change in the Political Landscape of State Government
DESCRIPTION:GIH Public Policy Audioconference Series \nWhen: \nThursday\, January 13\, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern / 1:00 p.m. Central / Noon Mountain / 11:00 a.m. Pacific \nWho: \n\nAlan Weil\, National Academy for State Health Policy\nBillie Hall\, Sunflower Foundation\nWendy Wolf\, Maine Health Access Foundation\n\nWhat: \nResults of the recent election have significantly altered the political map for state governments. Sixteen state legislatures changed party control of one or both chambers and\, of the 27 states with new governors\, 17 have seen a party switch in the governor’s office. This audioconference considered the implications of these political shifts for health policy and explored how health funders are responding to changes in the political landscape. \nAlan Weil led the discussion by summarizing the magnitude and scope of the changes in the political landscape at both the federal and state levels. He described the implications of these changes for health policy in three broad areas (1) the increase in the number of states actively opposing reform implementation\, (2) the increased likelihood that implementation\, to the extent it does proceed\, will reflect market-based\, rather than regulatory\, approaches\, and (3) the significant number of policymakers\, of both parties\, with limited knowledge of and experience in health policy issues. He commented on the high level of uncertainty that surrounds reform implementation\, ranging from continuing concerns about state budgets\, diminished resources for implementation activities\, on-going legal challenges\, and pending federal regulatory standards. Mr. Weil urged philanthropic organizations to reconsider funding investments in areas that have previously been viewed as core government activities\, support advocacy efforts\, and promote collaboration across states in order to reduce redundant analyses and problem-solving. \nBillie Hall described the changes that have taken place in Kansas\, sharing that the new governor just delivered his state of the state address\, released a new budget\, and has announced numerous new cabinet members and agency heads. Sunflower is still in the process of assessing the potential impact of these policies\, but significant changes are likely given that 8 state agencies are slated for elimination\, a consolidation of the Medicaid and public health agencies has been proposed\, and additional modifications in the Medicaid program are anticipated. She noted continuity in leadership in the office of the insurance commission. Ms. Hall indicated that the Sunflower Foundation is evaluating its current strategies in light of expected policy shifts. \nWendy Wolf discussed the changes taking place in Maine\, which saw a shift in party control of both the governor’s office and the state legislature. She stressed the need for foundations to assume a long-term strategic perspective and to avoid confusing election-related messaging with policy decision making. Ms. Wolf described long-standing efforts by MEHAF to support biennial educational seminars on health policy for new and returning legislators and emphasized the opportunities in offering credible\, objective information. \nDuring the interactive discussion\, participants concurred with the need for funders to take a leadership role in identifying common ground on priority issues\, such as addressing value and efficiency in health care services. Participants also discussed the need to assess new and existing partnerships in order to further philanthropic goals and to stay abreast of on-going policy deliberations at the state and federal level.
