SUMMARY:Health Policy in 2026: What Comes Next?
DESCRIPTION:Following a tumultuous year in health policy\, GIH will continue to keep funders up to speed on legislative and administrative changes that will affect health access and impact health disparities. In this timely webinar\, experts from Leavitt Partners provided an overview of what to expect from Congress and the administration in 2026 leading up to the midterm elections\, focusing on key legislative priorities and executive actions to help funders navigate and engage on these changes. Speakers included Laura Pence and Sara Singleton from Leavitt Partners.  \nIn 2025\, Grantmakers In Health launched a new collaboration with Leavitt Partners for health policy monitoring services related to GIH strategic priorities\, which includes regular webinars on timely policy topics.  \nGIH 2026 Landscape Slides \nGIH 2026 Landscape Webinar Recording \n  \n

SUMMARY:Responding to H.R. 1: Funder Opportunity to Help States Mitigate SNAP Coverage Losses
DESCRIPTION:This webinar was co-hosted with Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders and Grantmakers In Health.  \nH.R. 1’s unprecedented requirement that states pay for a share of SNAP benefits based on their payment error rates will impose a massive financial burden on state budgets\, forcing them to choose between cutting other programs and services\, reducing SNAP eligibility\, or even stopping participation in SNAP entirely. \nTo mitigate this threat\, the Aspen Institute’s Financial Security Program and Social Finance have partnered to develop a proposal to help states effectively implement H.R. 1 and reduce some of the coverage losses and fiscal impacts. The concept\, based on a successful model that supported states during Medicaid Unwinding\, is to deploy small teams of digital services and process design experts directly to states or counties (depending on the type of SNAP administration). \nThis proposal is an outgrowth of many conversations\, including those as part of the SAFSF-GIH SNAP Funder Working Group\, between advocates\, state and county offices\, funders\, and many more. It is one of many essential strategies to ensure that millions of Americans continue to have access to SNAP. \nResources and Recording:  \n\nAspen and Social Finance HR1 TA Briefing Slides\nSocial Finance-Aspen HR1 Response Concept Note

SUMMARY:SNAP Strategy Funder Working Group: Strategic Communications Operations
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders and Grantmakers In Health are forming a funder Working Group for a coordinated\, strategic response to the SNAP cuts in H.R. 1. The Working Group comes as an actionable response to insights shared by field leaders in a SNAP-focused webinar earlier in October. \nRecognizing the far-reaching implications of SNAP for food security\, health\, and economic equity\, this Working Group will serve as an information hub and a strategic coordination space\, designed to help funders act quickly\, effectively\, and in alignment with one another. We will organize three meetings to start and then assess next steps. The first two Working Group calls highlighted advocacy opportunities and training and technical assistance opportunities. \nOur Working Group Call focused on strategic communications opportunities. Elizabeth Wenk\, Principal and Managing Director\, and Nick Seaver\, Senior Vice President and Co-Director of Training Programs at Burness\, shared new insights from message testing about SNAP that highlights messaging that moves audiences\, insights on which arguments resonate and counter opponents\, and how different groups respond to these messages. The State Innovation Exchange (SiX) Food\, Agriculture\, and Rural Economies team shared what they are hearing from state legislators advocating for SNAP\, and how funders can support state policymakers’ efforts to protect the program. \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 for your communities\, this space is for you. \nSpeakers Included \n\n\nAlabama State Senator Merika Coleman\nEmma Newton\, Director of Organizing\, Food\, Agriculture\, and Rural Economies\, State Innovation Exchange\nElizabeth Wenk\, Principal and Managing Director\, U.S.\, Burness\nNick Seaver\, Senior Vice President and Co-Director of Training Programs\, Burness
