SUMMARY:The Long View: Operating in Complexity
DESCRIPTION:As the world around us grows more complex\, philanthropic practices must change and adapt. We need responsive\, emergent strategies\, skills\, and mindsets to meet these challenges in an intentional and relational way. \nCodesigned by The Rippel Foundation and Grantmakers In Health\, this webinar featured Carolyn Wang Kong of Blue Shield of California Foundation. She shared how the foundation infuses adaptive learning cycles\, experimentation\, and the centering of lived experience into its approach of operating in complexity. \nParticipants gained practical tools and insights about how to examine current practices and develop new adaptive strategies. \nResources: \n\nPresentation – The Long View: Operating in Complexity\n\nRecording: \n \n

SUMMARY:Reinforcing the Safety Net: Ensuring the Future of 340B
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Funders Concerned About AIDS (FCAA) \nThis webinar focused on the critical role the 340B Drug Pricing Program plays in financing health services in the United States. For almost 30 years\, the 340B program has allowed health care organizations – including small rural hospitals and community health centers – to help low-income and at-risk populations access discounts on medications they provide\, and to use the savings to invest in expanded services for patients. The 340B program continues to be at the center of drug pricing reform conversations and is therefore at risk due to proposed changes within state Medicaid programs that may significantly limit or end the benefits received by health care organizations. These resources are particularly crucial in the U.S. South and in states that have not expanded Medicaid. This discussion highlighted both the purpose and vulnerability of the program\, the advocacy needed to protect its future\, and the important role funders can play in this moment. Speakers included Bill Keeton of Vivent Health\, Jeffrey Lewis of the Legacy Health Foundation\, Mary Elizabeth Marr of Thrive Alabama\, Jesse Milan of AIDS United\, and Vacheria Tutson of the National Association of Community Health Centers. \nWebinar Recording: \n \n

SUMMARY:Health Equity Networking Call
DESCRIPTION:Grantmakers In Health is pleased to convene the Health Equity Network and connect with peers at foundations and corporate giving programs around the country. This first networking call of 2022 focused on language and narrative change. As we approach the third year of the pandemic\, many philanthropic institutions are working to ensure that health equity remains front and center in their internal governance and operations and external grantmaking and partnerships. These are long-term efforts\, which will require rethinking how health funders talk about equity; translate equity concepts and frameworks for their trustees and communities; and invest in efforts to shift social\, political\, and cultural narratives. \nOur 90-minute call was held on: Wednesday\, March 29 2022/2:00 p.m. Eastern \nThis call is part of a series of ongoing discussions to improve trends\, innovations\, funding needs\, data collection\, community engagement\, and equity audits. Please contact GIH for more information or to recommend future call topics. \n

SUMMARY:Philanthropic Action for Children’s Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Nemours Children’s Health and Grantmakers In Health cosponsored this invitational virtual meeting\, which issued a call to action for the advancement of mental\, emotional\, and behavioral (MEB) health for children\, youth\, and their caregivers. The program was inspired by alarming trends in MEB needs among children and the emergence of recent federal initiatives that would build more equitable approaches to children’s physical and mental health.  \nThe convening engaged funders from across the country in a conversation about a potential portfolio of aligned strategies with public and private partners. Breakout groups discussed challenges and opportunities related to data\, research\, payment reform\, and workforce. Feedback from this meeting was used to develop a publication\, “Aligning Efforts to Achieve Equitable Mental\, Emotional\, and Behavioral Health and Well-Being for Children and Youth.”

SUMMARY:Addressing the Urgency of Youth Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Southern California Grantmakers \nNo one has been exempted from the mental health toll of the COVID-19 pandemic\, though experiences have differed across race\, gender\, income\, immigration status\, and disability. Children and youth are at particular risk\, as outlined in the December 2021 Surgeon General’s Advisory\, Protecting Youth Mental Health. The pandemic and its associated challenges\, along with preexisting stressors including racism\, gun violence\, climate change\, and increasing national polarization\, have taken a serious toll on the wellbeing of young people and their families. This webinar explored issues our youth are facing and uplifting ways that philanthropy can take action to support youth mental health\, especially in ways that are culturally responsive and center collective healing. \nMore information can be found on the event website. \nPowerPoint Presentation: \nLAT MH Initiative Slide \nSCG Health Funders Group SAMHSA \nSoCal GM DHCD BHI Graphic \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Public Health Modernization: How Funders Can Support Health Departments to Advance Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 has exposed significant fractures in the nation’s public health system. Local and state health departments play a pivotal role in advancing health equity\, addressing public safety\, and promoting better health for all\, however historical underfunding of governmental public health has made it challenging to mitigate the effects of the current pandemic. The results of this disinvestment is often felt most acutely by communities of color and low-income people\, making a recommitment to public health both an equity and racial justice issue. As we enter the third year of the pandemic\, funders\, policymakers\, and governmental health officials have an opportunity to prioritize investment in health departments for the future. The Bipartisan Policy Center’s recent report\, Public Health Forward: Modernizing the U.S. Public Health System\, outlines actionable steps that can help guide investments and priorities for the next five years. \nThis webinar explored how health funders can advance health equity by supporting governmental public health and collaborating with health departments.  Speakers included Brittany Giles-Cantrell of the de Beaumont Foundation\, Judy Monroe of the CDC Foundation\, Anand Parekh of the Bipartisan Policy Center\, Brandon Skidmore of the Sunflower Foundation\, and Kathy Talkington of The Pew Charitable Trusts. \nPowerPoint Presentation: \nAnand Parekh\, MD _Overview of PHF \nRecording:

SUMMARY:The Long View: New Year\, New Practices
DESCRIPTION:So many in philanthropy want to contribute to building a more just and equitable future\, but the question is\, how? Dealing with compounding and urgent crises can easily consume our energies. How do we begin to imagine and create practices that bring about new opportunities for a vibrant future? \nCo-designed by the Rippel Foundation and Grantmakers In Health\, this webinar featured Cassie Robinson\, a futurist and philanthropic leader who works\, as she describes it\, in the “entanglement of what-is and what-might-be.” Ms. Robinson has leveraged her experience in philanthropy to map out grantmaking practices that allow funders to collectively steward resources and make meaningful change. Participants gained a concrete\, practical understanding of how to work differently\, and how to get started. \nResources: \n\nPresentation – The Long View: New Year\, New Practices\nLong View Webinar Jamboard\n\n  \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Disability Justice: What Funders Can Do to Address Disparities\, Equity\, and Health
DESCRIPTION:Although people with disabilities represent a quarter of the U.S. population\, funders often do not include them in health equity discussions or prioritize them in grantmaking initiatives. This is a profound oversight with serious consequences\, because people with disabilities experience significant barriers to health care services\, and are at high risk of poverty\, housing insecurity\, and discrimination. These disparities are even more pronounced among people of color with disabilities. For example\, the poverty rate for people with disabilities is more than twice as high as for the general population\, and is over three times as high for black and Indigenous people with disabilities.  A comprehensive vision of health equity must include the rights\, needs\, and voices of people with disabilities. \nThis webinar explored innovative measures to address how philanthropy can advance disability justice and how grassroots organizations are helping to change the national dialogue on disability\, health equity\, and race. Speakers included Nikki Brown-Booker of Borealis Philanthropy\, Sneha Dave of Generation Patient\, Ryan Easterly of the WITH Foundation\, Mordecai Ettinger of Health Justice Commons\, Morénike Giwa Onaiwu of the Foundations for Divergent Minds\, and Justine “Justice” Shorter of the National Disability Rights Network. \nRecording:

SUMMARY:Centering Health and Racial Equity: It’s an Inside Job
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 18 months\, foundations and corporate giving programs have announced unprecedented commitments to health equity and racial justice. Many have begun to thoughtfully assess their own organizations in order to better understand how their internal practices and policies have either impeded or facilitated equity and justice. Their actions are being carefully observed and documented in reports such as the 2020 Diversity Among Philanthropic Professionals Report and Mismatched: Philanthropy’s Response to the Call for Racial Justice\, which highlight key lessons and share timely recommendations. While philanthropic institutions are at different points on their equity journeys\, one thing is clear: lasting\, permanent change requires starting from the inside. \nSpeakers included  Jo Carcedo of Episcopal Health Foundation and Barbara Leonard of the Maine Health Access Foundation\, who delved into their perspectives and shared their long-term plans\, promising processes\, and lessons learned in centering equity and racial justice at their foundations. \nRecording: \n \n

SUMMARY:Equitable and Sustainable Children’s Oral Health Services in the Carolinas
DESCRIPTION:While the United States has seen improvements in children’s oral health in recent years\, almost half of children continue to experience dental cavities\, which are associated with disruption in learning and increased risk for a lifetime of systemic inflammatory health conditions. Notable inequities persist among school-aged Latino and African American children. Effective school-based oral health services can be targeted to high-need populations\, and philanthropy can support the policy development and technical assistance needed to establish more equitable and sustainable care. \nA robust conversation was held about an exciting effort to expand oral health services to rural and underserved communities in North and South Carolina\, through a school-based model supported by three foundations and their state partners. Speakers included Hannah Benson of BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation\, Katie Eyes of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation\, Amy Martin of the Medical University of South Carolina School of Dental Medicine\, and Stacy Warren of The Duke Endowment. \nResources: \n\nPresentation by Amy Martin\nA Technical Assistance Curriculum for Expanding Sustainable School-Based Oral Health Programs in the Carolinas’ Dental Safety Net\nEvaluation of a Comprehensive Oral Health Services Program in School-Based Health Centers\n\nWebinar Recording:

SUMMARY:Racial Inequities in Medical Debt: Causes and Potential Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Asset Funders Network\, Economic Opportunity Funders\, and Philanthropy New York \nIt is estimated that approximately half of all Americans have incurred medical debt\, totaling nearly $140 billion and affecting approximately one in five households. Medical debt prevents millions of people from achieving financial stability and negatively impacts their health outcomes and emotional wellbeing. Recent reports have found that medical debt is higher and more concentrated in communities of color\, due to inequitable policies and practices that reinforce the racial wealth gap. This discussion covered viewpoints on the problem of medical debt\, the people most at risk\, and potential points of engagement for philanthropy.  Speakers included Keith Hearle of RIP Medical Debt\, Michael Karpman of Urban Institute\, and Andre M. Perry of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program. \nPowerPoint Presentations: \nAndre Perry Brookings Presentation Michael Karpman Urban Institute Presentation RIP Medical Debt Presentation

SUMMARY:Affordable Housing and Health: Long-Term Solutions
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated housing insecurity for millions of Americans who have faced the risk of eviction\, foreclosure\, and homelessness due to job loss\, medical debt\, and illness over the past year and a half. While temporary measures such as eviction moratoriums and emergency rental assistance have provided relief for some\, longer-term solutions are required to address a preexisting affordable housing crisis that has disproportionately impacted Black\, Latino\, and Indigenous communities. \nThis webinar explored innovative measures to address these issues. Speakers included Andy McMahon of United Health Care and Tony Pickett of The Grounded Solutions Network. This session was moderated by Amy Latham of The Colorado Health Foundation. \n \n

SUMMARY:The Long View: FORESIGHT in Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:The future isn’t something that’s “out there.” It’s on the way\, right now. Many of us feel this in our day to day lives—things seem to come our way faster and faster\, and they’re more complex than ever. The pandemic. Climate change. Social movements. The Great Resignation. How\, amidst all of this\, can we ensure that the future that arrives is more equitable and just? How do we build bridges from today and “business as usual” to a new future\, one where everyone is thriving with no exceptions? \nIn order to meet this moment\, The Rippel Foundation has launched a series of informative and interactive webinars for funders. The first call in the series\, was codesigned by Grantmakers In Health\, and we heard from futurist Richard Lum of Vision\, Foresight\, Strategy. Dr. Lum led a conversation on how foundations can orient their work towards an equitable horizon\, and what practices can begin to bridge to this future. Participants finished the hour with an understanding of how to assess where they are today plus how to marshal the resources and will to begin building more equitable and innovative pathways. \nResources \n\nPresentation: The Long View Foresight in Philanthropy\nThree Horizons Board\n\nRecording:

SUMMARY:Legislative Opportunities to Increase Health Care Access and Coverage
DESCRIPTION:The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 is one of the largest economic relief programs in U.S. history\, which will provide billions of dollars to states\, communities\, and individuals. When considered alongside the Build Back Better budget reconciliation bill currently being proposed in Congress\, it is clear that federal legislation could soon impact nearly every aspect of the American economy\, particularly health care. This webinar discussed the key features of the American Rescue Plan Act and the Build Back Better framework—which include extending marketplace subsidies\, addressing the Medicaid coverage gap\, providing funding for clinics and health centers\, supporting consumer assistance and enforcement\, funding reinsurance and affordability programs—and discussed philanthropy’s opportunity to engage in the resulting work in communities across the country. Larry Levitt of the Kaiser Family Foundation moderated a panel of speakers that included Frederick Isasi of Families USA\, Sarah Lueck of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, Edwin Park of the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute\, and Hemi Tewarson of the National Academy for State Health Policy. \nNovember 30 Webinar Resources \nRecording:

SUMMARY:2021 Fall Forum
DESCRIPTION:2021 Agenda \nThe 2021 virtual GIH Fall Forum provided policy-engaged funders with information on current issues\, access to leading thinkers\, and connections with grantmaking peers. \nWelcome Session & Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\nNovember 15\, 2021 \nDr. Alice Huan-mei Chen\, Chief Medical Officer of Covered California presented the Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\nView the recording \nDesigning a Roadmap for an Equitable Post-COVID-19 Recovery\nView the recording: \n \n  \nNetworking Session / Get to Know Your Colleagues\nNovember 16\, 2021 \nBuilding Momentum to Advance and Institutionalize Equity\nNovember 17\, 2021 \nThere is growing awareness of the structural inequities driving health disparities in the United States\, which has led to new policies\, programs\, and people focused on health equity. At the same time\, the country remains divided on many issues\, and there is an increasingly vocal resistance to centering equity and structural discrimination in conversations about health. Given the complexity of the current moment\, how can philanthropy help communities create a new normal through initiatives that are designed to ensure everyone has a fair and just opportunity to obtain their highest level of health?  In this action-oriented programming series\, participants will discuss how to: move from crisis response to long-term recovery in ways that advance equity; use narrative change as a tool to shift policy; and engage board leadership to incorporate equity as a priority in foundation programming and operations. \nSession 1 Recording \n \nSession 2 recording \n \nFrom Crisis to Care: Decriminalizing Mental Illness and Addiction\nNovember 18-19\, 2021 \nFor far too long\, behavioral health crises have been treated as a criminal justice problem instead of a public health issue. As a result\, jails and prisons have become our largest psychiatric facilities and communities of color have been disproportionately harmed by the criminalization of mental illness and drug use. Across the country\, there are growing calls to reform our crisis response systems by prioritizing harm reduction; implementing alternatives to incarceration; and utilizing mental health providers\, not law enforcement\, as first responders to behavioral health challenges. Policy and practice changes at the local\, state\, and federal level are redesigning crisis systems to respond to behavioral health needs more effectively and equitably. In this programming series\, participants will hear about community-centered decriminalization efforts; explore lessons learned from partnership work; and discuss how philanthropy can best support equitable and sustainable strategies \nSession 1 Recording \n \nSession 2 Recording \n \nSession 3 Recording \n \n40 Years and Future Focused: GIH’s New Strategic Plan\nNovember 19\, 2021 \nView the recording

SUMMARY:Supporting Black Maternal Health and Advancing Birth Equity
DESCRIPTION:The United States has a higher rate of maternal mortality than any other developed country in the world. Driving this ranking are the significant racial and ethnic disparities in maternal mortality: black women are three to four times more likely to die in childbirth than white women. Across the country\, philanthropy and communities have launched an all-hands-on-deck approach to this crisis\, designing policies and programs intended to reverse the high rate of black maternal mortality and improve health outcomes for women\, children\, and families. \nThis webinar explored how latest policy updates\, successful strategies to advance birth equity\, and how health philanthropy can make an impact in reducing black maternal mortality.  Speakers included Dawn Godbolt of the National Birth Equity Collective\, Dr. Meredith Shockley-Smith of Cradle Cincinnati/Queens Village\, Dr. Shirley Sylvester of the Women’s Health Initiative at Johnson & Johnson\, and Kiana Trabue and Jennifer Zimmerman of bi3. \nPresentations: \nDawn Godbolt \, Dr. Shirley Sylvester\, Kiana Trabue and Jennifer Zimmerman \nRecording: \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Standing Together: Philanthropy's COVID-19 Relief Funds and Immigrant Communities
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees \nThe COVID-19 global pandemic has been one of the most consequential events in the last decade\, wreaking havoc on families\, communities\, and the economy. As businesses were forced to close or scale back\, wage and job loss hit brown and Black communities particularly hard\, including immigrants who are overrepresented in hospitality\, agriculture\, domestic work\, and other industries. In response to this economic crisis and the fact that the federal government does not provide pandemic benefits to undocumented families—despite their participation in the labor market—philanthropy and state and local governments stepped in to fill the gap. Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR) recently commissioned a study to analyze the efforts of philanthropy to support immigrant communities via relief funds. This webinar featured a dive into the findings and a discussion on how foundations can prepare for future relief efforts. Speakers included Sharon Bush of the Grand Victoria Foundation\, Alice Cottingham of Alice Cottingham & Associates\, Eric Edi of AFRICOM\, project consultant Althea Gonzalez\, and Laine Romero-Alston of Open Society Foundations. \nPlease visit GCIR’s resource page to access the report and webinar recording.

SUMMARY:Nutrition Incentives: Lessons and Opportunities to Improve Healthy Food Access
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Sustainable Agriculture and Food System Funders \nAccess to healthy food is an important social determinant of health. Over the past decade\, nutrition incentive programs that match federal SNAP dollars to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables have grown rapidly and proven to be a critical pathway to improving healthy food access. New streams of federal support that require local matching funds coupled with a surge in SNAP enrollment during the pandemic have presented important opportunities for public-private partnership. \nThis webinar discussed how these effective nutrition incentive programs have enabled vibrant public-private partnerships across the country\, the current state of the field and research\, and the opportunities for health funders to leverage these opportunities to improve healthy food access. Speakers included Mini Kahlon of UT Austin Dell Medical School and Factor Health\, Erica Raml of Fair Food Network\, and Amy Yaroch of Gretchen Swanson Center for Nutrition. \nPresentation Slides: \nNutrition Incentives Presentation \nPresentation:
