SUMMARY:2017 GIH Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Agenda at a Glance \nThe 2017 Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy\, the largest gathering of health funders in the country\, was our most-attended conference yet! 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.

SUMMARY:Justice for All: Is Criminal Justice Reform Leaving Immigrants Behind?
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Colorado Association of Funders\, Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers\, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees\, Grantmakers of Oregon & Southwest Washington\, Hispanics in Philanthropy\, International Human Rights Funders Group\, Northern California Grantmakers\, and Southern California Grantmakers \nIn many states across the United States\, there has been significant progress in criminal justice reform\, including on sentencing\, parole\, and smart-on-crime policies to reduce incarceration rates.

SUMMARY:Community Water Fluoridation: Lessons for Improving Philanthropic Policy Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Increasingly\, foundations are looking to policy solutions as a strategic and effective means to create lasting\, meaningful change. However\, policy advocacy can be a challenge\, depending on the issue and an organization’s tolerance for risk—particularly in partisan climates. Community water fluoridation\, an evidence-based\, highly effective public health intervention that improves oral health and reduces health disparities\, is an issue health philanthropy has partnered with state and local champions with varying degrees of success. Successful efforts avoid classical partisan divisions despite environments that can become highly contentious. However\, win or lose\, significant lessons are learned and experience gained. After many years of this policy work\, there is a sizable body of work for health grantmakers to reflect on. \nThis webinar discussed where community water fluoridation stands today\, the lessons learned for philanthropy\, how policy campaigns can successfully engage on public health issues in a bipartisan manner\, and recommendations for next steps to continue moving community water fluoridation efforts forward. Speakers included: Matt Jacob of Jacob Strategies\, David Johnson formerly of Arkansas State Senate\, and Hollis Russinof of American Academy of Pediatrics. \nAdditional Resources: \n\nReport on Pew & Fluoridation Advocacy\n\nRelated Content\n\nFluoridation Webinar Slides – Microsoft PowerPoint presentation\, 16574 KB

SUMMARY:Healthy Food\, Healthy People: The Relationship Between Food and Real Estate
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Funders Network for Smart & Livable Communities and Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems Funders \nObesity\, hunger\, and malnutrition remain pressing issues for communities across the country\, highlighting the deficiencies in our nation’s food system. It is not set up to support healthy living for many U.S. residents\, and the food system both contributes to and is threatened by high levels of greenhouse gas emissions\, food waste\, and climate change. Yet\, across the United States\, people have a growing interest in and awareness of the value of fresh\, local food. Activities such as growing produce at home or in community gardens increased by 17 percent between 2008 and 2013. This focus on local food is spurring innovation in real estate and is providing a rich arena for creativity that can improve outcomes for people\, the planet\, and profits. \nWith support from The Colorado Health Foundation and the Leichtag Foundation\, the Urban Land Institute recently published Cultivating Development: Trends and Opportunities at the Intersection of Food and Real Estate\, which details opportunities to profitably build places that conserve farmland\, support access to healthy food\, and increase local knowledge of cooking and nutrition. The report also includes insights from the Reinvestment Fund on overcoming barriers around developing grocery stores in underserved areas and the Leichtag Foundation and Coastal Roots Farm on training young farmers to grow both food and community. \nThis webinar was an engaging discussion of how cross-sectoral partnerships among real estate developers\, public sector institutions\, universities\, restauranteurs\, chefs\, farmers\, and food retailers can support the health of people and the planet. Speakers included: Daron Joffe of Leichtag Foundation and Coastal Roots Farm\, Ed McMahon of Urban Land Institute\, Donna Leuchten Nuccio of Reinvestment Fund\, and Christopher Smith of The Colorado Health Foundation. \nSAFSF webinar recording and other resources

SUMMARY:Healthy Food Financing Initiatives: Lessons from Ohio on a Growing National Movement
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders \nSince Pennsylvania’s original success with a Healthy Food Financing Initiative (HFFI)\, there has been a flurry of activity across the country to launch state and local programs that offer tax credits\, below-market rate loans\, loan guarantees\, and grants to businesses and organizations providing healthy foods to underserved communities. Ohio has built upon previous healthy food access funding to launch its HFFI with bipartisan support and a blend of public and private funding. On this webinar participants learned where the HFFI movement is today\, how it has quickly adopted diverse and creative solutions to meet the unique needs of communities\, how funders of all shapes and sizes can play an important role in developing and implementing HFFIs\, and key lessons learned from Ohio’s experience in developing its Healthy Food for Ohio initiative.

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots between Transportation and Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with The Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities \nAs funders look for new ways to build healthy\, livable\, and equitable communities\, there is growing recognition of transportation as an important social determinant of health. Transportation is linked to multiple health outcomes such as access to health care\, rates of injury\, and levels of physical activity. Transportation is also linked to other upstream factors that shape health including housing\, employment\, and education. This webinar explored how foundations\, local communities\, and other cross-sector partners are working together to address the intersections of health and transit. Speakers included: Katy Smith of the Piedmont Health Foundation and Diana Williams of The Funders Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities. \nRelated Content\n\nPresentation: Connecting the Dots between Transportation and Health Equity – PDF document\, 5177 KB\nGreenlink Peer Comparison – 2014 – PDF document\, 738 KB\nThe Hardest Road: Philanthropic Approaches to the Evolving Field of Transportation Equity – PDF document\, 733 KB\nCreating Opportunities for People and Place Through Transit – PDF document\, 401 KB

SUMMARY:Going for the Win-Win: Exploring Approaches to Climate\, Health\, and Equity Co-Benefit Investments
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored with the Health & Environmental Funders Network and Climate and Energy Funders Group \nAs recognition grows that climate change is a major health threat\, so too is recognition that climate action could have significant benefits for public health and overburdened communities (beyond reducing climate impacts). For example\, developing clean energy in low-income housing or expanding active transport (walking or cycling) and public transit may provide economic and health benefits to low-income people while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. There is growing interest in “co-benefit” investments for their potential for high payoff: addressing several urgent societal needs at once\, engaging more partners and assets\, and accelerating solution strategies. \nCo-benefits grantmaking also presents challenges. Funders may encounter unfamiliar issues and partners with different priorities. They face choices about which and whose benefits\, costs\, and risks\, with partial data and unknowns. And co-benefits work is very much an innovation space. People are experimenting with metrics and methodologies\, ways of aligning diverse funding interests\, and processes to engage affected communities\, health\, and other key stakeholders. Getting better at co-benefits work is an important step towards bigger impact. \nThis webinar explored ways of thinking about climate\, health\, and equity co-benefit approaches. Speakers shared examples and experiences from co-benefits work\, reflecting on strengths\, limitations\, and lessons as groundwork for discussion. Speakers included: Jonathan Levy of Boston University School of Public Health\, Cecilia Martinez of the Center for Earth\, Energy and Democracy (CEED)\, Ben Russak of Liberty Hill Foundation\, and John Scicchitano of New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
