SUMMARY:Accelerating Healthy Aging for All Through Impact Investing
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Grantmakers In Aging \nThe field of impact investing has developed over more than five decades\, gaining traction as a lever for driving social change and equity\, and as a prudent investment strategy. Still\, impact investing is relatively new to many philanthropic funders\, which has led trustees\, staff\, and fiduciaries to ask how they could or should apply impact investing and broader social investing techniques to advance their missions and values. Leaders from the field convened for a conversation on how funders can leverage impact investing to advance their missions. Speakers included Deborah (Debby) Kasemeyer of Northern Trust\, Lisa Richter of Avivar Capital\, Candace Robinson of Capital Impact Partners – part of the Momentus Capital family\, and Yi Wei of Momentus Capital. \n

SUMMARY:Supporting Communities to Leverage Federal Food and Nutrition Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Even before last year’s White House Conference on Hunger\, Nutrition\, and Health\, the Biden administration made significant investments to expand and improve food access and nutrition.

SUMMARY:CalAIM\, Street Medicine\, and Homeless Services
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Southern California Grantmakers and Funders Together to End Homelessness   \nThe California Department of Health Care Services is currently implementing California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM)\, a multiyear initiative intended to fundamentally alter how crucial health services are provided by reforming the state’s Medicaid program (Medi-Cal)\, particularly for the at-risk populations that philanthropy supports. CalAIM will require significant investments in network infrastructure\, capacity-building\, and patient outreach and engagement to be successful.   \nThis webinar focused on the intersection of CalAIM and street medicine—an emerging movement to provide direct care services to homeless individuals in the community wherever they are\, as opposed to requiring treatment in clinic or hospital settings. The philosophy behind street medicine aligns well with CalAIM’s intention to prioritize individuals with complex needs and integrate Medi-Cal more seamlessly with other social service programs. Participants learned about implementation\, the experiences of practitioners in the field\, and ways philanthropy can be a collaborative partner in the process.   \nParticipants learned:  \n\nWhy the connections between health and housing are so fundamental; \nHow the state and various partners define street medicine; \nHow CalAIM can support street medicine\, and where additional clarity or support may be needed; and \nWhere philanthropy can be most useful\, especially regarding coordination of care\, cross-sector collaboration\, and research into true costs and best practices.   \n\nPowerPoint Presentation: \n\nHealth Funders Group Meeting: CalAIM\, Street Medicine\, and Homeless Services\n\nResources: \n\nStreet Medics Help Formerly Homeless Woman Rebound Video\nStreet Medicine Institute\nAll Plan Letter from State of CA Dept of Health Care Services\nCHCF Issue Brief on the All Plan Letter\nCHCF Work in this Space\nStreet Medicine Bakersfield\nStreet Medicine Teams Tackle the Homeless Health Care Crisis\, from CalMatters\n\nRecording:

SUMMARY:Promoting the Health and Well-being of Immigrant Workers in Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Economic Opportunity Funders\, Forefront\, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrant and Refugees\, and Maine Philanthropy Center  \nAs discussed in Building Immigrant and Worker Power in Rural America\, immigrants and refugees add to the diversity of rural communities and help mitigate the negative impacts of a rapidly aging population while also stimulating local economies. The availability of work in manufacturing and agriculture has contributed to the considerable growth of immigrant populations in these communities\, with nearly 75 percent of all farmworkers in the United States being foreign-born. \nMany of these workers lack access to preventative health care\, may have limited access to transportation\, lack information about available health care services\, and fear discrimination and deportation. Additionally\, agricultural workers are particularly susceptible to infectious diseases because of the long periods of time they spend in close contact with other workers\, sharing transportation and housing with other workers or family members\, and moving from community to community for work. These poor health outcomes are in addition to the numerous migration-related and post-migration stressors that can impact the physical\, psychological\, social\, and spiritual well-being of immigrants and refugees. \nDuring this webinar\, we held a discussion with immigrant justice movement leaders on how they are working to protect the health\, safety\, and well-being of immigrant workers in rural communities. Speakers included Dan Torres of Evelyn & Walter Haas Jr. Fund\, Aura Aguilar of North Bay Jobs with Justice\, Monica Garcia of MHP Salud\, and Alexis Guild of Farmworker Justice. \nResources: \n\nPromoting Health and Wellbeing of Immigrant Workers in Rural American PowerPoint\n\nRecording:

SUMMARY:White House Conference on Hunger\, Nutrition\, and Health - Funder Debrief Working Session
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by Grantmakers In Health and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders  \nThe White House Conference on Hunger\, Nutrition\, and Health\, the first such national convening in over 50 years\, and its associated national strategy present an important opportunity for the field to mobilize around the goal of ending hunger and increasing healthy eating and physical activity by 2030 to reduce the prevalence of diet-related diseases. The White House clearly indicated that philanthropy has an important role to play in helping the Administration meet these goals\, which will require strategic conversations\, investments\, and commitments from grantmakers across the country.  \n Sustainable Agriculture and Food System Funders and Grantmakers In Health hosted this call to identify key action steps funders can take in follow-up to the White House Conference on Hunger\, Nutrition\, and Health. We walked through the blueprint\, identified areas of alignment and implications for philanthropy\, and determined next steps.  \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Local Impact Investing Models for Health Conversion Foundations
DESCRIPTION:Local impact investing is particularly attractive to health conversion/health legacy foundations – institutions created from the sale of health care organizations. These foundations are developing local impact investment programs as a strategy to keep assets within their communities as well as to generate measurable community benefits and financial returns. LOCUS Impact Investing and Grantmakers In Health held a virtual – and conversational – learning session designed to identify guideposts for best practices by health conversion foundation local investors. Participants engaged in peer-to-peer discussion as they explored elements of program design and how to start lifting up effective and equitable practices. \nResources: \n\nLocal Impact Investing PowerPoint Presentation\nZoom Chat Text File\n\nRecording:
