SUMMARY:Prioritizing America’s Youngest Children
DESCRIPTION:Early childhood is a critical time to build lifelong health and learning. Young children do well when they are raised in supportive families and communities and participate in high-quality early childhood programs. Despite this evidence\, the United States invests considerably less money in these early years than in K-12 education. Recently the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Commission to Build a Healthier America issued its latest set of recommendations\, one of which calls for greater public and private investments in early childhood development as a way of promoting a lifetime of better health and learning. In this webinar\, speakers discussed foundation strategies that address early childhood. Speakers included: Ellen Braff-Guajardo of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation; Paula Braveman of the University of California\, San Francisco; Joelle-Jude Fontaine of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation; Kristin Schubert of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation; and Jessie Rasmussen of the Buffett Early Childhood Fund. \nRelated Content\n\nPresentation: Prioritizing America’s Youngest Children – PDF document\, 3991 KB\nRWJF Issue Brief: Early Childhood Experiences Shape Health and Well-being Throughout Life – PDF document\, 1110 KB

SUMMARY:Optimal Healing Environments: Creating a Culture of Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Many are seeking a more coordinated system of care that focuses on the person as a whole and addresses the full range of physical\, emotional\, social\, spiritual\, and environmental aspects of health. Transforming health care from a sickness model to a wellness model requires an understanding of how healing occurs among individuals\, communities\, and health care systems. What are the essential elements to create and sustain a healing environment? How can health care organizations successfully integrate and measure wellness approaches? This webinar featured organizations that have adopted a holistic healing framework and discussed ways philanthropy can help optimize wellness and prevention.

SUMMARY:Outreach and Enrollment Learning Community - June
DESCRIPTION:This month’s call was an exchange of ideas on grantmaker roles in outreach and enrollment going forward. Questions were posited for open discussion: How are grantmakers seeing their roles change or evolve\, if at all\, as we plan for the next round of open enrollment? Will grantmakers continue to support outreach and consumer assistance broadly\, or hone in on particular populations or programs? What is happening during the interim enrollment period? How are grantmakers incorporating lessons from the first round of outreach into their work? To what extent are funders changing or broadening grantmaking strategies in this area (for example\, by developing new partnerships\, undertaking advocacy\, or providing public-sector support)? \nRelated Content\n\nPresentation: Outreach and Enrollment Community – June – PDF document\, 185 KB

SUMMARY:2015 GIH Annual Conference: Call for Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Pathways to Health\nOne of the most exciting things about working in health philanthropy today is witnessing the plethora of strategies that health funders have at their disposal. Most grantmakers share a similar vision: for individuals\, families\, and communities to achieve health\, resilience\, healing\, and well-being. But there are many routes to that destination. By confronting upstream and downstream issues\, funders can enhance prevention and wellness at the individual and community level\, improve access to quality health care across all stages of life\, empower consumers\, and advance health equity. \nFunders have many tools at their disposal to achieve these goals. They can experiment with many tactics\, including convening\, grantmaking\, investing\, and policy change. And they can work with an ever-expanding field of allies and partners\, against the backdrop of this nation’s rapidly changing demographics. Although these varied approaches may seem scattershot to some\, they all help create pathways to better health and health care. \nGrantmakers In Health (GIH) has long believed that health philanthropy’s diverse voices and viewpoints deepen our understanding of health and strengthen our ability to fashion effective solutions. Our 2015 annual conference will be a time to weave together the various threads of philanthropy’s work. We are looking for sessions that explore how to act upon broad definitions of health\, embrace new players\, integrate competing approaches\, leverage the assets of different sectors\, and accelerate change. \nWe welcome proposals for: \n\nCall for Sessions Instructions for Breakout Sessions\n\nPDF Format Call for Sessions Instructions for Site Visits\n\nPDF Format Call for Sessions Instructions for Film Screenings\n\nProposals must be submitted by July 25\, 2014. GIH’s Call for Sessions process is entirely Web-based\, and we will not accept proposals via fax\, mail\, or e-mail. \nSubmit proposals here. We recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox when accessing the Call for Sessions site. You will be required to create a username and password to start the process. \nIf you have questions or would like assistance in designing your proposal\, please contact Kate Treanor at ktreanor@gih.org or 202.452.8331.
