SUMMARY:Caregiving: What Communities Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Arizona Age-Friendly Network and Grantmakers In Aging \nWith few supports and services available to family caregivers\, their time\, resources\, health\, and well-being are increasingly strained. No matter where people are in the journey of family caregiving—just beginning to anticipate a need\, helping to coordinate a care transition\, or taking care of a family member full time—having a good framework to help guide both caregivers and communities makes the process easier and will significantly improve health outcomes for care recipients and caregivers alike. This webinar was a conversation with Dana Marie Kennedy\, State Director of AARP Arizona\, and taught how communities can adapt to the needs of family caregivers and provide the resources needed to support people aging in place. \nRelated Content\n\nCaregiving Webinar Description Feb 2018 – PDF document\, 294 KB

SUMMARY:2017 Fall Forum: Strategies for Tumultuous Times
DESCRIPTION:2017 Agenda \nWashington Marriott Georgetown | Washington\, DC \nEach fall\, GIH offers programming designed for funders with a strong interest in health policy. The Fall Forum is an excellent opportunity for grantmakers to get up-to-speed on current issues\, interact with leading thinkers\, and connect with one another. Funders return home with a deeper understanding of important topics\, an introduction to some key players\, and ideas about how to apply what they’ve learned to their work. \nThe 2017 Fall Forum served as an important opportunity to participate in comprehensive discussions about the complex and rapidly changing health policy environment. On the first day of the meeting\, a variety of high-level experts deepened participants’ understanding of key aspects of the private and public health insurance systems that are being debated and changed\, share timely updates on supporting outreach and enrollment\, and detail how coverage gaps are being addressed and managed. \nThe second day of the meeting featured a communications workshop for funders\, during which participants heard about current communication challenges in health policy and explore foundation approaches to meet those challenges. Experts shared tools funders can use in designing advocacy communications support for grantees and building digital media capacity. \nKathy Ko Chin\, President and CEO of the Asian and Pacific Islander American Health Forum delivered the fifth annual Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture\, sharing her insights on the policy and systems changes that would benefit Asian Americans\, Native Hawaiians\, and Pacific Islanders at the national\, state\, and local levels. \nRelated Content\n\nLauren LeRoy Lecture\, Kathy Ko Chin\, APIAHF – PDF document\, 8545 KB\nFall Forum 2017 Speaker Profiles – PDF document\, 286 KB\nState of Coverage Policy\, Trish Riley\, NASHP and Karen Pollitz\, KFF – PDF document\, 753 KB\nCurrent Communication Challenges in Health Policy\, Alison Betty\, Betty & Smith – PDF document\, 709 KB\nDesigning Advocacy Communications Support\, Ed Walz\, Springboard Partners – PDF document\, 11871 KB\nBuilding Digital Media Capacity\, Alison Glazer\, Whole Whale – PDF document\, 5308 KB

SUMMARY:Policy Strategies to Reduce the Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages
DESCRIPTION:A growing body of evidence suggests that sugar-sweetened beverages are a significant contributor to obesity and multiple chronic illnesses\, including diabetes\, heart disease\, and poor oral health. In response\, states and municipalities have considered several policy solutions\, including taxes\, to de-incentivize and reduce the consumption of these unhealthy beverages. This webinar covered the latest: the wide range of policy options being pursued\, the current state of sugar-sweetened tax campaigns and tax policy implementation\, the returns on investment sugar-sweetened beverage policy efforts have for foundations and their communities\, and how grantmakers of all sizes and levels of policy experience can become involved in efforts to reduce the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Speakers included Tessa Hale of Boulder County Public Health Department\, Jim Krieger of Healthy Food America\, and Anna Lappe of Panta Rhea Foundation. \nAdditional Resources: \nwww.healthyfoodamerica.org \nRelated Content\n\nSugar Sweetened Beverages Slides – PDF document\, 2344 KB

SUMMARY:Incorporating Harm Reduction Strategies in Behavioral Health Grantmaking
DESCRIPTION:Heightened attention to the opioid epidemic has led more health funders to consider integrating a broader range of strategies in behavioral health efforts. Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies—including overdose prevention\, syringe exchange\, and safer consumption spaces—aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use\, as well as addressing conditions of trauma\, stigma\, and social justice. Funders on this webinar discussed best practices\, gaps\, and emerging issues in applying harm reduction policies to substance use grantmaking. Speakers included Daniel Raymond of the Harm Reduction Coalition and Jamie Wood of Open Society Foundations \nRelated Content\n\nIncorporating Harm Reduction Strategies in Behavioral Health Grantmaking Slides – PDF document\, 334 KB

SUMMARY:Food Is Medicine: Research\, Policy\, & State of the Field
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems Funders \nIn response to the strong links between poor nutrition and many illnesses\, community-based organizations and the philanthropic community have developed a range of innovative efforts to provide healthy\, nutritionally appropriate food to prevent or address specific health conditions. On this webinar\, participants learned about the “food is medicine” approach and its historical roots\, the state of the science\, details of a new three-year study funded by California’s legislature\, and how “food is medicine” has evolved into a national effort to make medically-tailored meals an essential health benefit. Participants also discussed what funders can do to incorporate a “food is medicine” approach to their grantmaking\, how programs and practices can be replicated and scaled up\, and what can be done to support the movement locally and at the state level. Speakers included Cathryn Couch of Ceres Community Project\, Melody Meyer of United Natural Foods Foundation\, Rita Nguyen of UCSF School of Medicine\, and Alissa Wassung of Food Is Medicine Coalition.

SUMMARY:Measure Something: Evaluation for Everybody
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Empire Health Foundation and Grantmakers In Aging \nThe importance and availability of data has never been higher than today. All too often\, however\, data analysis is viewed as the domain of specialists\, limiting opportunities for learning. Although randomized controlled trials and external evaluations remain the gold standard\, there are easier ways to collect empirical data that can be used to improve decisionmaking. This presentation takes as its starting point Dr. Atul Gawande’s charge: “If you count something you find interesting\, you will learn something interesting.” Funders reviewed a simple yet effective measurement approach for senior health\,  followed by an interactive exercise to practice and build confidence. Speakers included John Feather of Grantmakers In Aging and Mike Yeaton of Empire Health Foundation.

SUMMARY:2017 GIH Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy

Thank you for being a part of it. \n\nCONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS \n\nAgenda at a Glance (pdf)\nActivities by Topic (pdf)\nHotels near Sheraton Boston – PDF document\, 145 KB\n\n \nCONFERENCE THEME \nLead\, Listen\, Inspire \nIn the 35 years since Grantmakers In Health (GIH) was founded\, the landscape of health philanthropy has changed dramatically. Hundreds of new foundations have been created\, channeling billions to communities. Meanwhile\, the United States has become increasingly diverse and is confronted with growing levels of inequality. The Affordable Care Act has improved access to health care for many\, but its future is uncertain. Health grantmakers are at the forefront of responding to these challenges by the way they lead\, listen\, and inspire. \nLead. Today\, more than ever\, funders are called upon to provide leadership on a vast array of health issues. By collaborating with a wide range of allies in and outside the health sector\, providing grants and other forms of financial support\, advocating for change\, and championing innovation\, foundations are helping drive lasting improvements in health. \nListen. Exceptional leadership requires being a good listener. By actively engaging with community residents\, advocates\, policymakers\, health professionals\, researchers\, and other stakeholders\, funders strengthen philanthropy’s credibility\, relevance\, and impact. Meanwhile\, developing strong networks and authentic relationships can lead to strategies and programs that are more likely to succeed. \nInspire. Foundations are uniquely positioned to inspire hope\, courage\, and action. Their talented staff\, flexibility\, and resources enable them to engage with a variety of partners\, resolve conflicts\, and motivate change.
