SUMMARY:SNAP Funder Working Group: Food Security Data Collection
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders and Grantmakers In Health have formed a funder Working Group to coordinate a strategic response to the SNAP cuts in H.R. 1. Recognizing the far-reaching implications of SNAP for food security\, health\, and economic equity\, this Working Group serves as an information hub and a strategic coordination space\, designed to help funders act quickly\, effectively\, and in alignment with one another. Previous Working Group calls have highlighted advocacy\, training and technical assistance\, and strategic communications opportunities for funders. \nOur Working Group Call focused 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 discussed why continued data collection—using consistent methods and metrics—matters and how funders can support this work.

SUMMARY:Funder Briefing: Healthcare Access for Immigrant AANHPI Women+
DESCRIPTION:This webinar was hosted by Asian Americans/ Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy\, and co-sponsored with Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees\, Grantmakers In Health\, and the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum.  \nAs 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 brought 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.  \n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Mental Health Meets Firearm Safety: Innovative Strategies to Reduce Firearm Suicide
DESCRIPTION:Firearms are involved in 55 percent of suicides in the United States\, accounting for more than 27\,000 deaths every year as documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.  Yet this crisis remains largely invisible in public discourse. This webinar makes the case that the tools to act are already within reach. \nThis webinar brought together practitioners\, funders\, and public health leaders working at the intersection of mental health and firearm safety. We heard mental health systems can integrate firearm access screening across the continuum of care\, and why culturally responsive assessments are essential to making these approaches effective and equitable. We learned from Stanislaus County’s firsthand experience adopting this model and discussed funding strategies\, system changes\, and community partnerships that make this work possible.\n\n\nSpeakers Included: \n\n\n\nCuco Rodriguez\, Chief Strategist & Equity Officer\, Hope and Heal Fund\nRob Wilcox\, Executive Director\, Fund for a Safer Future\nRuben Imperial\, Behavioral Health Director\, County of Stanislaus\, CA\nBrian Malte\, Executive Director\, Hope and Heal Fund (Moderator)\n\n\n\nSlides and Recording:  \nMental Health Meets Firearm Safety Slides

SUMMARY:Values\, Voice\, and H.R. 1: When Should Foundations Speak Out?
DESCRIPTION:The stakes for health remain high in 2026 as implementation of H.R. 1 ushers in harmful changes to health and social safety net programs. Foundations are increasingly speaking publicly about the damaging effects of these and other federal actions on the health of communities. This webinar explored when and how to issue a public statement. Chrystal Okonta\, Director of FGS Global’s Health team\, discussed key factors when crafting a public statement such as urgency\, mission alignment\, and organizational capacity. Kerry Jones Waring\, Vice President for Communications at the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York\, shared the foundation’s decision process\, advice for crafting messages\, and managing feedback. \n GIH Communications – Public Statement and Advocacy (PP Slides) – HFWCNY \nValues\, Voice\, and H.R. 1: When Should Foundations Speak Out? – FGS Global Slides \nResources:  \nGIH Resource: GIH Crisis and Issue Management Playbook for Funders  \nGIH Resource: Survey Findings: Perceptions of Health Funders  \nStatement from HFWCNY: Response to President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union Address (Feb. 25\, 2026)   \nOp ed from HFWCNY: Opinion in Syracuse.com: Medicaid work requirements will hurt older adults the most (May 20\, 2025)

SUMMARY:Climate\, Health\, and Food: Empowering Communities to Work at the Intersections
DESCRIPTION:Health philanthropy likes to place its work into discrete buckets\, but these hard lines do not really exist in the world. The labels we place on issues –health\, climate change\, food security– are interwoven into the fabric of communities\, experienced at the same time by everyone. In communities\, intersectionality is not elective\, and it is both the name and the mode of action by which they respond\, adapt\, and win against the political\, social\, and economic challenges of our time. \nWe met with Environmental Health Watch and Sprout\, two communities that are successfully putting this mode of action into practice. They shared strategies on how they are responding to climate change\, health\, and food security at the same time\, showing what is possible when philanthropy stops treating these issues as separate and allows communities to truly work at the intersections.\nSpeakers Included: \n\nArianna Mack\, Program Manager of Healthy Communities and Climate\, Environmental Health Watch\nMina Seck\, Community Food Director\, Sprout\nJan Delatorre\, Program Office\, The Kresge Foundation (Moderator)\n\nSlides and Recording:  \nClimate\, Health\, and Food April 23

SUMMARY:Roundtable Discussion: Health Funders Communication and Policy Staff
DESCRIPTION:Grantmakers in Health hosted a second joint call for the GIH Policy Staff Learning Community and the GIH Communications Staff Learning Community. We discussed the importance of communicating about policy changes in meaningful ways that engage communities and partners. In this informal conversation\, we swapped strategies\, illuminated solutions\, and made connections. We also used the time to dig in on a topic that was raised during the January 27 call: supporting policy\, messaging\, or other work related to the upcoming elections (such as governors’ races\, mid-terms\, ballot initiatives\, etc.). \n  \n

SUMMARY:SNAP Funder Working Group: Food Restriction Waivers
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders and Grantmakers In Health have formed a funder Working Group to coordinate a strategic response to the SNAP cuts in H.R. 1. Recognizing the far-reaching implications of SNAP for food security\, health\, and economic equity\, this Working Group serves as an information hub and a strategic coordination space\, designed to help funders act quickly\, effectively\, and in alignment with one another. Previous Working Group calls have highlighted advocacy\, training and technical assistance\, and strategic communications opportunities for funders. \n\nThis Working Group Call examined the rise of state waivers restricting the type of food that can be purchased with SNAP benefits\, how retailers are navigating these changes\, and what we might learn from the evaluations. To date\, USDA has approved food restriction waivers in 22 states and incentivized waiver applications by tying them to increased funding for the Rural Health Transformation Program. USDA claims that these waivers are meant to “restore nutritional value in SNAP.” However\, five SNAP recipients in Colorado\, Iowa\, Nebraska\, Tennessee\, and West Virginia sued the department in March\, challenging these restrictions as harmful\, unlawful\, and burdensome. \nSpeakers from the National Governors Association\, the National Grocers Association\, and the University of Illinois Chicago discussed the state-level decision-making process to apply for a waiver\, the impact of these waivers on retailer participation in SNAP\, and the public and private evaluation methods being used to assess whether the restrictions have any meaningful impact on nutrition for participants. The Center for Science in the Public Interest shared strategic thinking about how they are exploring opportunities to engage in this continuously evolving political climate. \n\nSpeakers:  \n\nJoelle Johnson\, Deputy Director for Healthy Food Access\, Center for Science in the Public Interest\nJess Kirchner\, Senior Policy Analyst\, National Governors Association Center for Best Practices\, Children and Families Division\nStephanie Johnson\, Vice President\, Government Relations\, National Grocers Association\nLisa M.

SUMMARY:2026 GIH Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Complete Agenda Print Agenda Event Microsite \nThe 2026 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy\, was held on June 8 – 11 in Baltimore\, MD\, at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor. Every year\, GIH brings together the bright minds\, seasoned experts\, and innovative practitioners working in health philanthropy to discuss the important issues facing the field. \n\n\nReporting from the 2026 Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy\n\n\n\n\nPart 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 \n\n\nLife\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Health\nTwo hundred and fifty years ago America’s founders came together to say the current system of government was not working for them. This act sparked the birth of a new nation founded on principles of freedom\, equality\, and democracy. The document they signed clearly articulates the founders’ belief in the right to life\, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Health—and the ability to lead a healthy and productive life—is deeply intertwined with these ideals. Today\, cuts to critical health and social programs; attacks on freedom of speech; threats to non-profit organizations; and federal overreach threaten our fundamental freedoms as well as our health and well-being. The 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding is an ideal backdrop for us to come together and craft a vision for health that works for everyone. \nReflections on the Theme \nPlenary Session Videos\nLife\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Health  \nThe opening plenary of the 2026 GIH Annual Conference began with Joseline A. Peña-Melnyk\, Speaker of the House for the Maryland General Assembly. Then featured a panel discussion with: \n\nRichard Besser\, President and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\nCara V. James\, President and CEO of Grantmakers In Health and\nDr. Ibram X. Kendi\, Director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Howard University.\n\n \nTerrance Keenan and Andy Hyman Awards Luncheon \nTune in to be inspired by Gladys Vega of La Colaborativa as she was honored with the 2026 Andy Hyman Award for Advocacy and Mark Constantine of the Dogwood Health Trust as he was honored with the 2026 Terrance Keenan Leadership Award. \n \nGetting in Formation: Organizing for the Future \nDeepak Bhargava\, President of the Freedom Together Foundation\, DaMareo Cooper\, Executive Director of the Center for Popular Democracy\, and Joe Goldman\, President of the Democracy Fund delve into a discussion on the need for organizing. \n \nHow Can I Reach You? Building Trust Through Communication to Enable Change \nHow we share information\, tell stories\, and communicate across movements shapes our collective power to create change. The closing plenary will bring together award-winning storytellers\, organizers\, and advocates to explore how we can strengthen the information and communications ecosystem to sustain the work of health equity. Together\, we’ll examine what it takes to create a more connected\, resilient\, and effective infrastructure for mobilizing people and organizations toward the structural changes needed to achieve better health for all.

SUMMARY:Care and Work: Improving the Livelihoods of Family Caregivers and Care Workers
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is hosted by The CARE Fund and The John A. Hartford Foundation and Cohosted by Grantmakers In Health.  \nThe vast majority of family caregivers have jobs outside the home. Public and corporate policies need to be reshaped so working parents of young kids and family members caring for older and disabled loved ones can live dignified lives with economic security. Meanwhile\, professional caregivers struggle to make ends meet with low wages and meager benefits. This robust discussion on the state of care and work included Inimai Chettiar (A Better Balance)\, Jason Resendez (National Alliance for Caregiving)\, and Haeyoung Yoon (National Domestic Workers Alliance). \n\nDrawing on the data from Caregiving in the US 2025 report\, panelists explored both the support needed by family caregivers in the workforce as well as the need to improve the quality of paid caregiver jobs. \n\nSpeakers Included:  \n\nInimai Chettiar\, A Better Balance\nAnna Wadia\, The Care for All with Respect and Equity Fund\nRani Snyder\, The John A. Hartford Foundation\nJason Resendez\, National Alliance for Caregiving\nHaeyoung Yoon\, National Domestic Workers Alliance

SUMMARY:From National Data to Local Action: Improving Youth Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Improving youth mental health starts with strong data\, but not just clinical measures. Understanding how young people are feeling means capturing what matters most to them: belonging\, agency\, support\, and resilience. \n\n\nThis webinar explained how Surgo Health’s nationally recognized Youth Mental Health Tracker is generating new\, equity-focused insights into youth well-being and how Interact for Health −in partnership with the coalition Hopeful Empowered Youth (HEY!) and local funders −adapted that research to center local voices across the Cincinnati region. \nSpeakers discussed how this collaboration is filling critical data gaps by going beyond traditional mental health indicators to measure holistic well-being across diverse populations\, including  Black\, Hispanic\, LGBTQ+\, and economically disadvantaged youth. Attendees heard directly from HEY! coalition youth leaders who were involved at every stage of the data process to ensure concepts\, language\, and priorities reflect real youth experiences. Hey! coalition leaders shared how results will be used to shape mental health efforts in their community. \n\n\n  \nSpeakers Included: \n\nSarah Burgess(opens in new tab)\, VP of Healthcare\, Surgo Health\nKelley Adcock(opens in new tab)\, Senior Director of Data & Learning\, Interact for Health\nHEY!

SUMMARY:Isn't This an 'Immigrant’ Issue? Why All Philanthropic Sectors Should Care About the New Public Charge Rule
DESCRIPTION:This webinar was hosted by Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees and co-sponsored by Grantmakers In Health.  \nThe federal government’s new public charge rule is the latest and most powerful tactic to strip millions of immigrant families of access to basic needs like health care\, food\, and housing. Children will be among those most impacted\, as one in four children in the U.S. have at least one immigrant parent. While the vast majority of these children are eligible for benefits like all other U.S. citizens\, their families are afraid to access benefits for them out of fear that aggressive immigration policies will tear their families apart. Confronted by these harsh realities\, too many families are at risk of falling behind. The chilling effects of this new rule will have lasting negative impacts on community health\, well-being\, and even life expectancies\, creating a generation of young Americans hindered from achieving long-term safety and stability simply due to their parents’ immigration status. \n\nParticipants: \n\nLearned why this rule devastates immigrants and non-immigrants.\nHeard real stories from frontline organizations covering health care\, education\, disabilities\, food and nutrition\, housing\, immigrant rights\, and other sectors on the rule’s wide-ranging impact.\nExplored how philanthropies can help mitigate the harm.\n\n

SUMMARY:Supporting Community-Based Organizations in Social Health Care
DESCRIPTION:Community-based organizations (CBOs) are increasingly recognized as essential partners in addressing the social drivers of health\, including food access\, housing stability\, maternal health\, and behavioral health. When Medicaid and Medicare provide coverage for social health services\, CBOs may have new opportunities to participate in health care delivery systems. However\, in order to be successful\, these organizations may need additional support to navigate challenges related to credentialing\, billing\, compliance\, and administrative capacity. This webinar explored sustainable financing strategies for social health services\, common challenges facing CBOs\, and the ways in which the current policy environment will impact such Medicaid waivers. Speakers discussed how philanthropy can help seed and strengthen the needed infrastructure through capacity building\, technical assistance\, and strategic investments.  \nGIH webinar July 28 slides \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:CEO Working Group Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Grantmakers In Health was pleased to convene the CEO Working Group to discuss challenges in our work and opportunities for collaboration as we move forward to achieve our health missions. These calls are open to GIH Funding Partner CEOs\, Presidents\, Executive Directors\, or the highest-ranking health staff at multi-issue foundations. During these candid\, confidential conversations\, philanthropic leaders share information\, swap strategies\, raise concerns\, and ask for one another’s advice. Reach out to Ann Rodgers to learn more. \nOn this webinar\, we were joined by Rebecca Vallas\, CEO of the National Academy of Social Insurance to discuss their Benefits Futures Studio project and Linda Giannarelli and Lisa Dubay of the Urban Institute to discuss their State of the Safety Net project. The goals were to: 1) share examples of how national organizations are addressing HR1 implementation at the state-level\, particularly the impact of that law on the safety net\, and 2) provide an opportunity to hear about projects that may be operating within your state\, or ideas that might be interesting to tailor to your own work. We also set aside plenty of time for Grantmakers and their peers to talk about how they’re engaging in their states and regions. \nSelected Urban OBBBA analyses \nUrban Institute slides 8.11.26 \nRebecca Vallas NASI slides 8.11.26 \nState of the Safety Net initiative overview \nRegister

SUMMARY:SNAP Funder Working Group: Strategy Check In
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders(opens in new tab) and Grantmakers In Health(opens in new tab) have formed a funder Working Group to coordinate a strategic response to the SNAP cuts in H.R. 1. Recognizing the far-reaching implications of SNAP for food security\, health\, and economic equity\, this Working Group serves as an information hub and a strategic coordination space\, designed to help funders act quickly\, effectively\, and in alignment with one another. Previous Working Group calls have highlighted advocacy(opens in new tab)\, training and technical assistance(opens in new tab)\, and strategic communications opportunities(opens in new tab) for funders. \n\nOne year after the passage of H.R. 1(opens in new tab)\, analysis from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities finds that at least 1.5 million fewer children(opens in new tab) — and more than 4.5 million fewer people overall — are receiving SNAP food assistance. SNAP participation has dropped in every state except Alaska\, and by as much as 10 percent in some states. The harms to communities will continue to grow as states fully implement eligibility restrictions. This Working Group Call provided a space for funders to share where they are focusing efforts\, where they see the biggest funding gaps\, and where there are opportunities to align with other funders. We also used this time to gather input on future discussion topics and determine the Working Group meeting cadence going forward. \nThis Working Group is open to all funders currently responding to or actively considering a response to SNAP cuts. Funders do not need to be members of SAFSF or GIH. If you are wrestling with the impact of SNAP cuts on the communities you serve\, this space is for you. \n

SUMMARY:From Intractable to Solvable: Narrative Change as a Strategy for Firearm Violence Prevention
DESCRIPTION:A two-part series on how storytelling shifts the frame and funders’ role in it. \nFirearm violence is a public health crisis\, but the story we hear often is of intractability\, “too entrenched”\, “politically frozen”\, “too big to move”. That framing suppresses both public will and philanthropic investment because a problem believed to be unsolvable rarely attracts the resources to solve it. This two-part series made a distinction that matters for how funders act. A story is a single account\, but a narrative is the deeper frame that tells audiences what every story means. Changing that frame is slow\, cumulative work\, and it is a long-term strategy. Part I examined why narrative change is hard and long\, and how solutions-focused journalism shifts public understanding of firearm violence and reframes the crisis as solvable. Part II shared examples of funder support around journalism\, data infrastructure\, and grantee stories as ways health funders can invest in the frame shift alongside their direct Firearm Violence Prevention grantmaking efforts. \n\nPart I: September 10\, 2:00-3:00 pm ET \nPanelists Included: \n\nJames Burnett(opens in new tab)\, Founder and Managing Director\, The Trace\nAbené Clayton(opens in new tab)\, Co-Director\, Association of Gun Violence Reporters\nEric Marsh(opens in new tab)\, Director\, Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting\n\n  \nPart II: September 15\, 200-3:00 pm ET \nPanelists Included: \n\nNancy Fishman(opens in new tab)\, Senior Director\, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies\nQuintin Williams(opens in new tab)\, Senior Program Officer\, The Joyce Foundation\nJessi LaRose(opens in new tab)\, Director of Strategic Relationships\, Missouri Foundation for Health\n\nRecording from Part I:  \n \n  \nRecording from Part II:

SUMMARY:Environmental Health\, Data Centers\, and the Case for Equity in the Southeast
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is hosted by Grantmakers In Health(opens in new tab) and co-sponsored by Appalachia Funders Network(opens in new tab)\, Blue Sky Funders Forum(opens in new tab)\, and Health and Environmental Funders Network(opens in new tab).  \nThe Southeast faces some of the nation’s most persistent environmental health challenges\, which are a product of decades of disinvestment\, discriminatory policy\, and regulatory failure. Now\, a new concern is emerging as the region has become a prime target for massive data center development. These facilities can use millions of gallons of water per day\, strain regional grids\, and compound existing health challenges. \nThis webinar opened with a grounding in the region’s environmental health landscape and what the data center build-out means for community health. The conversation then turned to a community leader\, whose work has reshaped national policy\, followed by a funder with investment in environmental health\, who shared what meaningful partnership and effective philanthropy looks like on the ground. \n\nPanelists Included: \n\n\nAdrienne Hollis(opens in new tab)\, Vice President\, National Wildlife Federation\nLaTricea Adams(opens in new tab)\, President\, Young\, Gifted and Green\nShilpa Joshi(opens in new tab)\, Director\, The Climate and Clean Energy Equity Fund\n\n  \nResources from the webinar:  \n\nNew York Times\, “How Meta Uses A.I.

SUMMARY:When “Exempt” Isn’t Enough: Medicaid Work Requirements and Maternal Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Invitation: When “Exempt” Isn’t Enough: Medicaid Work Requirements and Maternal Mental Health \nMedicaid work requirements are set to take effect soon\, creating a burdensome administrative process that most enrollees will need to navigate to keep their coverage. Certain populations are exempt from these requirements—including people who are pregnant or postpartum\, and those parenting a child age 13 or under. But exemption doesn’t mean automatic protection: in most cases\, individuals must actively prove or attest to their exempt status\, often through paperwork and verification processes that are easy to miss or misunderstand. \nOn paper\, this should mean pregnant\, postpartum\, and parenting individuals face no risk to their health insurance. In practice\, the complexity of federal rules—combined with the burden of proving an exemption rather than simply receiving one—will inevitably create confusion\, fear\, and unnecessary coverage loss for people who qualify. \nFor people who are pregnant\, postpartum\, or parenting\, this could mean slipping through the cracks of a system that assumes they’re protected but doesn’t make that protection easy to keep—worsening maternal mental health in the process. For people of childbearing age more broadly\, it could mean losing access to pregnancy and pre-pregnancy counseling that helps them achieve and maintain healthy pregnancies. Join Funders for Maternal Mental Health and Grantmakers In Health on October 14th from 2 pm – 3:15 pm ET / 11 am – 12:15 pm PT for a webinar on this timely topic. \nThe goals of this webinar are to: \n\nUnderstand who is exempt from Medicaid work requirements and how exemptions are verified;\nIdentify barriers that exempt pregnant individuals and parents may face in navigating the verification process;\nConsider how complex requirements can disproportionately affect certain families\, particularly those in need of mental health services and supports;\nExplore promising approaches in navigating these requirements and maintaining coverage; and\nDiscuss opportunities for funders to support policies\, practices\, and community-based approaches that help ensure exempt individuals and their families are not left behind.\n\nConfirmed Speakers: \n\nKelly Brittain\, Children’s Foundation of Michigan\nElisabeth Burak\, Georgetown University Center for Children and Families\nSarah Maresh\, Nebraska Appleseed\nDána Langord\, Village of Healing\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:GIH Health Policy Exchange 2026
DESCRIPTION:Register Agenda Sponsor Learn More \nRegardless of the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections\, the landscape of health policy in the United States will be shaped by recent political realities—and the stakes could not be higher. Against a backdrop of ongoing threats to Medicaid\, SNAP\, and the broader safety net\, rising challenges to democratic institutions\, and a public health infrastructure under strain\, philanthropy has a critical role to play in supporting communities\, and charting a path forward that alters systems and policies to ensure that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to achieve their highest level of health. The 2026 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Health Policy Exchange will provide space to assess the post-election environment\, identify where investment and action are most urgently needed\, and explore ways health funders can mobilize to advance health and well-being for all at the federal\, state\, and local levels. \nLauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\nThe Health Policy Exchange features the Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\, a lecture series established in honor of former GIH President and CEO Lauren LeRoy and her commitment to increasing communication between the worlds of philanthropy and policy.  Last year’s speaker was Keshia Pollack Porter(opens in new tab)\, Dean of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. \nRegister now

SUMMARY:2027 GIH Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:The 2027 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy\, will be held on June 28 – July 1\, 2027 in Chicago\, Illinois. \nFrom meetings to movements: transforming health\nForty-five years ago\, a small group of health funders came together to launch an organization to help them learn about important health issues and to learn from one another. Since then\, Grantmakers In Health has been helping funders learn\, connect\, and grow through educational programming like the annual conference. Together\, we have learned about the social drivers of health\, the role of structural and systemic barriers to health\, health inequities\, and how to be better philanthropic partners with the communities we seek to help. As a result\, health philanthropy has evolved\, and outcomes have improved. \nUnfortunately\, recent unprecedented actions at the federal level threaten the progress of the last few decades\, and countering these threats requires GIH and health funders to evolve once more. The moment requires us to develop new skills\, break out of our silos\, and work together in new ways. \nSubmit a Session Proposal!\nThe 2027 GIH annual conference is an important opportunity for health funders to come together to explore new ideas and innovative partnerships designed to help mobilize the field to achieve better health for all. GIH is looking for action-oriented session proposals that explore how funders are: \n\nResponding to the changing political and legal landscape\, including policy changes\, funding\, and access to health and social services;\nOrganizing and mobilizing within philanthropy to advance health and equity;\nStrengthening foundation governance and leadership in uncertain times;\nSupporting communications and narrative change work;\nImproving and reimagining our health system;\nEmpowering communities and fostering collaboration across sectors;\nResponding to continued attacks on health equity and diversity\, equity\, and inclusion;\nDefending against threats to philanthropic giving; and\nInvesting in innovative work in the Chicagoland region.\n\n\nLearn More Submit a Proposal \nContinue Learning from The Last Conference\nReports and plenary recordings from the 2026 conference are posted!
