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:SNAP Funder Working Group: Advocacy Opportunities Post-Election
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. \n\nThis Working Group call will create a space for funders to discuss strategic SNAP advocacy and relationship building opportunities at the federal and state levels following November’s election results. \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\nRegister(opens in new tab) \n

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! Watch the Opening Plenary: Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Health\, learn the importance of Getting in Formation: Organizing for the Future\, get inspired by the remarks from the Terrance Keenan and Andy Hyman Awards Winners\, and don’t miss the closing panel: How Can I Reach You?
