SUMMARY:Weathering the Storm: Health Funders' Role in Climate Emergency Response
DESCRIPTION:The recent and unexpected wildfires in Los Angeles County marked by raging flames and persistent smoke destroyed homes and businesses while severely affecting air quality. Similarly\, coastal communities are no strangers to the devastating impact of hurricanes.  Hurricane Helene in particular underscored that climate change is no longer a distant threat as it affects communities far beyond the coast. In addition to widespread damage to homes\, municipal power grids\, and water systems\, Hurricane Helene disproportionately impacted low-income and rural populations. Hurricanes\, extreme heat\, wildfires\, and atmospheric rivers are frequently affecting communities across different regions. These examples of climate emergencies emphasize the vital role of philanthropy in supporting vulnerable communities impacted by climate crises while underscoring the urgency of swiftly mobilizing resources in the wake of a crisis. \nThis webinar featured firsthand experiences from health funders who were directly impacted by extreme weather events. Watch the recording to gain valuable insights into the challenges faced by these funders in responding to the crises\, the strategies they implemented in collaboration with affected communities\, and the actions they are taking in the face of future climate disasters. The session also explored the critical role of health funders in fostering collaboration and preparedness in climate emergency response. \nObjectives \n\nRecognize challenges faced by health funders and grantees directly impacted by climate emergencies.\nDiscuss collaboration with local stakeholders in building community resilience.\nExamine how health funders are preparing for and mitigating the impact of future climate emergencies.\n\nPanelists \n\n Susan Mims\, President and CEO\, Dogwood Health Trust\, North Carolina\nChet P. Hewitt\, President and CEO\, Sierra Health Foundation\n Kanika Tomalin\, President and CEO\, Foundation for a Healthy St. Peterburg\n\n\nWebinar Recording \n \nCo-hosted with:

SUMMARY:How the Care Movement is Organizing Against Devastating Federal Tax and Budget Cuts
DESCRIPTION:This important webinar examined the potentially devastating impact of possible federal budget and tax cuts on women\, children\, older adults\, and people with disabilities and the care movement’s planned response.

SUMMARY:Defeating the DOGE Agenda: Combating the Threats to Social Security and Medicare and More
DESCRIPTION:Organizer: Economic Opportunity Funders \nJoin Groundwork Collaborative’s Lindsay Owens and Public Citizen’s Lisa Gilbert on Tuesday\, February 4 for an insightful webinar exposing the real agenda behind Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and how philanthropy can respond to its threats. \nFor decades\, lawmakers have consistently given tax breaks to the rich and tried to cut government programs to the bone. DOGE is the latest iteration of this two-step. While DOGE poses a serious threat to the public investments our families and communities need\, if we are strategic\, we can make DOGE wildly unpopular and ineffective\, and possibly even stop it all together. In this session\, speakers and participants will review the latest polling on Musk and DOGE\, discuss effective messaging strategies to ensure the public understands the threat DOGE poses to vital programs that working families depend on\, and outline legal and advocacy strategies to combat DOGE and increase public support for essential programs. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Funding the Fight for Immigrant Rights in 2025 and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Organizer: Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees \nIn anticipation of Inauguration Day 2025\, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR) released their 2025 Recommendations for Philanthropy\, “Fighting for our Future: Immigrant Rights and our Multiracial Democracy.” As anticipated\, the president rescinded dozens of orders from the previous administration and signed a series of new executive orders impacting immigrants and refugees on day one. Hours later\, a coalition of immigrant rights groups filed a lawsuit challenging an executive order targeting birthright citizenship\, a right that has been settled law by the Supreme Court for 127 years. \nMovement groups have long been preparing for these attacks on migrant populations\, and it is imperative that philanthropy resource the work that is ahead. Join this webinar to learn about funding opportunities to protect the safety\, security\, and well-being of populations under assault\, support rapid response and mutual aid interventions\, bolster legal representation and litigation efforts\, resource organizing\, advocacy\, and power-building funds and campaigns\, and more. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Medicaid: Protect and Defend
DESCRIPTION:Medicaid is the vital backbone of our publicly funded health care system: it is the largest federal source of funding flowing to state budgets\, it covers nearly half of all children and births\, and it is the largest funder of long-term care services\, serving an aging and/or disabled population. Legislative proposals are being discussed that may severely cap or cut Medicaid\, and these policy changes are likely to move very quickly in 2025. Participants learned about what policy changes and funding cuts are possible with the incoming presidential administration and the 119th U.S. Congress. Presenters shared reflections and suggested opportunities for funders to protect and defend this vital program. Speakers included Joan Alker and Edwin Park of Georgetown University’s Center for Children and Families and Hemi Tewarson of the National Academy for State Health Policy. \nCosponsored by the Early Childhood Funders Collaborative \nPresentation Slides: \n\nPresentation by Edwin Park \nPresentation by Joan Alker\n\nVideo Recording:

SUMMARY:GIH Health Policy Exchange 2024
DESCRIPTION:2024 Agenda \nHealth Policy Exchange: The New Fall Forum\nWe are excited to announce that the annual Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Fall Forum has been rebranded as the Health Policy Exchange. The new name reflects the multi-day conference’s purpose: to provide opportunities for health funders focused on policy to network with policymakers and other funders\, exchange ideas and best practices\, and identify opportunities for collaboration.  \nThe theme of the 2024 Health Policy Exchange was Beyond the Ballot: Advancing Policy in a New Administration. We discussed the election results’ impact on philanthropy’s work advancing better health for all\, delved into critical policy issues that affect the country\, and received updates from the Hill. \nOther topics explored by participants included opportunities for cross-sector collaboration in public health\, updates on health policy at the state level\, philanthropy and the Supreme Court\, the changing landscape of women’s health\, and philanthropy’s role in supporting systems change. \nFunder CEOs convened for a post-election conversation about navigating the new administration\, including opportunities and challenges related to health equity. This dialogue continued the discussion begun at the June 2024 Annual Conference and will solidify relationships among funder CEOs as we move forward collectively in pursuing our health missions. \n2024 Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\n \nDr. Ashish Jha\, Dean of the School of Public Health and Professor of Health Services\, Policy and Practice at Brown University delivered the 2024 Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture at the GIH Health Policy Exchange! \nHe spoke about his long career in public health\, his work on COVID-19\, and his thoughts on the current policy landscape. \nOn the outlook for the ACA\, Medicaid\, and Medicare during the next administration\, Dr. Jha said\, “We still have 10 states who haven’t expanded Medicaid. I don’t know that we’ll see much more expansion. What’s going to happen on the Medicaid side is that they are going to put in work requirements … on the Medicare side of things is that we have gone to 55 percent Medicare Advantage—Medicare Advantage has taken over Medicare. The Biden administration has tried to put some brakes on that\, but my bet is that the brakes come off. We’ll be at 70 – 75 percent after four years.” \n

SUMMARY:Connecting Pediatricians\, Families\, and Schools for Thriving Youth
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers for Thriving Youth  \nFamilies whose children experience health issues that interfere with school success often struggle to navigate school processes\, bureaucratic obstacles\, and language/cultural barriers when trying to ensure their children can thrive in school. Pediatricians are trusted by families but don’t have the capacity or the mandate to solve school–related challenges. Enter an innovative solution piloted by EdNavigator with support from Oak Foundation. EdNavigator partners with pediatric clinics\, hospitals\, and other healthcare agencies to match families referred by pediatricians with Navigators who help with school enrollment issues\, special education support\, and other academic concerns.   \nLeaders from the field explore how EdNavigator connected across systems to solve education challenges for children and youth in Boston\, the San Francisco Bay Area\, and Washington\, DC\, and how this cross-systems approach was a game changer in enabling children and youth to access the services they needed to thrive in school. The speakers included Tim Daly of EdNavigator\, Bethiel Girma Holton of Oak Foundation\, and Victoria Paulino of EdNavigator. \nVideo Recording:
