SUMMARY:2016 GIH Annual Conference: Call for Proposals
DESCRIPTION:Charting a New Course: Roadblocks\, Breakthroughs\, and Discoveries\nFoundations are uniquely positioned to chart new courses as they seek to improve the health and well-being of individuals\, communities\, and the nation. As currents shift\, they are able to test new ideas and strategies\, engage a wide variety of partners\, take risks\, and learn from their failures. Achieving their goals requires constant monitoring\, refinement\, and\, sometimes\, an entirely new tack. \nThe 2016 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) annual conference lifts up the spirit of learning from experience. GIH invites funders to share the challenging aspects of grantmaking\, as well as their a-ha! moments. Unsuccessful grants\, stubborn problems\, new strategies\, and inspired insights are all part of the process of taking risks\, striving to create real change\, and charting a course toward improved health. What funders have learned from such experiences can be a rich source of information and guidance for others. Discoveries that lead to new approaches to solving existing or emerging problems can be especially revitalizing for the field. \nSo think creatively about experiences you can share with your peers. High points and low points are equally welcome\, along with your candid thoughts about what you learned\, how you will apply that knowledge going forward\, and how your experiences can inform the work of other funders. Together\, we can learn\, connect\, and grow. \nWe welcome proposals for: \n\nCall for Proposals Instructions for Breakout Sessions\n\nCall for Proposals Instructions for Site Visits\n\nCall for Proposals Instructions for Film Screenings\n\nProposals must be submitted by June 18\, 2015. GIH’s Call for Proposals process is entirely web-based\, and we will not accept proposals via fax\, mail\, or email. \nSubmit proposals here. We recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox when accessing the Call for Proposals 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.

SUMMARY:Climate Change\, Equity\, and Health: How Funders Can Make a Difference

SUMMARY:2014 Fall Forum
DESCRIPTION:Hamilton Crowne Plaza – Washington\, DC \n \nEach fall\, GIH offers programming designed for funders with a strong interest in health policy. These meetings\, collectively known as the Fall Forum\, are an excellent opportunity for you to get up-to-speed on current issues\, interact with leading thinkers\, and connect with other grantmakers. 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. \nProgramming started November 5 with three concurrent strategy sessions—meetings sized to maximize opportunities for interaction and participation. On November 6\, GIH convened the fifth annual Foundations and Health Reform and the second annual Lauren LeRoy Health Policy Lecture. \nWEDNESDAY\, NOVEMBER 5 \nRegistration and Continental Breakfast\n8:00 – 9:00 a.m. \nOne Size Does Not Fit All: Foundation Roles in Policy Change\n9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. \nAn increasing number of health foundations view policy change as an important aspect of their mission\, but priorities\, strategic roles\, and investment approaches vary considerably among funders. This session was designed to address the opportunities and challenges facing policy-engaged funders\, while recognizing philanthropic diversity in terms of goals and activities. The agenda included a consideration of the ways funders are leveraging non-grant resources (such as in-house expertise and reputational assets) to advance policy change\, an exploration of the implications of geographic focus (local\, state\, and national) on funders’ policy strategies\, and a discussion of evaluation methods that support strategic learning regarding policy investments. The interactive nature of this small group meeting promoted candid conversation and collaboration among funders seeking to leverage the power of public policy to achieve improvements in population health. \n\nDetailed Agenda\n\nPicking Up the Pace in Healthy Living Policy and Evaluation\n9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. \nIn communities across the country\, those working hard to promote healthy lifestyles and reverse the obesity epidemic are seeing promising signs of progress. However\, there is still much work to be done. A recent GIH scan of the field found that public policy and evaluation are two areas where health funders can help make significant headway. This meeting enabled participants to explore federal\, state\, and local policy opportunities; engage in thoughtful debate about the role of government and industry in promoting change; learn innovative evaluation techniques and strategies; and consider how evaluation can better inform grantmaker investments and priorities. \n\nDetailed Agenda\n\nWarrior Wellness: Promoting Health for Veterans and Military Families\n9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. \nThis strategy session was an opportunity for grantmakers\, researchers\, government officials\, and community partners to discuss how to most effectively support the health and wellness of veterans and military families. The agenda featured a series of conversations on integrative therapeutic approaches to address pain\, trauma\, and psychological health; how communities can successfully coordinate support services; and what gaps remain in physical\, emotional\, and behavioral health care. Participants had the chance to connect with funder colleagues\, share strategic ideas\, and discuss potential areas for cross-sector collaboration that promotes optimal healing and wellness. \n\nDetailed Agenda\n\nTHURSDAY\, NOVEMBER 6 \nRegistration and Continental Breakfast\n8:00 – 9:00 a.m. \nFoundations and Health Reform\n9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. \nAt the fifth annual Foundations and Health Reform meeting\, GIH will focus on prevention\, wellness\, and patient engagement.
