Funder Briefing: Healthcare Access for Immigrant AANHPI Women+
VirtualAs immigration enforcement intensifies and economic pressures mount under the newly passed tax bill, immigrant Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women face growing challenges to accessing affordable and culturally responsive healthcare and safety net programs. The increase in workplace raids and fear of detention and deportation has profoundly impacted AANHPI immigrants that many refrain from leaving their homes to seek medical care, go to work, or even attend school, deepening inequities in immigrant communities. This webinar will bring together policy experts, community leaders, and funders to discuss the critical role of Medicaid in immigrant communities with an emphasis on the intersecting effect of immigration status, gender, economic strain, and healthcare access.
Join us to explore actionable strategies for philanthropy to strengthen safety nets, advance immigrant health equity, and ensure that immigrant AANHPI women are not left behind during the changing political climate.

SNAP Funder Working Group: Food Security Data Collection
VirtualOur upcoming Working Group Call will focus on data collection opportunities following USDA’s decision to terminate the Economic Research Service’s (ERS) Household Food Security Survey. For more than 30 years, this survey provided the nation’s most consistent measure of food security, shaping our collective understanding of the drivers of food insecurity and informing key food and nutrition policy decisions. No existing data source offers the same level of insight, and its loss will make it harder to assess the impacts of H.R. 1’s SNAP cuts. Experts from the Capital Area Food Bank, Healthy Eating Research, and the Urban Institute will discuss why continued data collection—using consistent methods and metrics—matters and how funders can support this work.

Meeting the Moment to Prevent Violence: How Cross-Sector Collaborators Are Leading the Way
VirtualWhat happens when hospitals start treating violence as preventable? Across the country, health systems are pioneering models that connect clinical care to community violence intervention (CVI), and the early evidence is compelling.
This panel brings together three institutions at the forefront of this shift. Massachusetts General Hospital's Gun Violence Prevention Center is training the next generation of clinicians to identify risk and navigate difficult conversations through case-based simulations. New research from Boston University offers findings from the first large-scale study of Boston Medical Center's Violence Intervention Advocacy Program (VIAP), showing how in-depth interventions for young adult survivors of violence can reduce their risk of future involvement. And the Milken Institute’s survey findings discuss the funding landscape and strategies that sustain these approaches as federal support fluctuates.
