SUMMARY:Strengthening Maternal Mental Health in Rural Communities
DESCRIPTION:Co-hosted with Funders for Maternal Mental Health and Grantmakers In Health.  \nRural communities face distinct maternal mental health challenges—driven by workforce shortages\, hospital and obstetric unit closures\, long distances to care\, and under-resourced health and behavioral health systems. These barriers are compounded by systemic inequities\, including poverty\, insurance gaps\, racial and geographic disparities\, and chronic underinvestment in rural health infrastructure and communities. As a result\, fragile rural health delivery systems often struggle to identify and address maternal mental health needs. \nAt the same time\, new federal and state activity\, including the Rural Health Transformation Program\, is creating important openings to rethink how maternal health and mental health services are financed\, integrated\, and delivered in rural settings. \nWe explored how maternal mental health is showing up across rural communities\, how states are engaging in this new initiative\, and where philanthropic strategies can play a meaningful role to advance maternal mental health in rural communities. The conversation drew on perspectives from national rural health infrastructure\, community-based organizations\, and physician-led public health work across rural regions of the country. Speakers reflected on persistent gaps and promising approaches\, and highlighted strategies funders can support to strengthen rural delivery systems and promote more accessible\, culturally responsive care for mothers and families. The session concluded with time for funder discussion and questions.\nSpeakers Included: \n\nChris Salyers\, Director of Programs and Evaluation\, National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health\nKenia Pinela\, Director of Programs and Innovation\, Valley Settlement\nDr. Erica Quinn Thompson\, Founder and Executive Director\, Magnolia Medical Foundation\n\n

SUMMARY:Funding Narrative Power 101: From Communications to Systems Change
DESCRIPTION:This workshop was co-sponsored by Blue Sky Funders Forum\, Chesapeake Bay Area Funders\, Climate and Energy Funders Group\, Grantmakers in Health\, Health & Environmental Funders Network\, Funders for Regenerative Agriculture\, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders\, and The Funders Network. \n\n\nWhat is philanthropy’s role in shaping the narrative around health and the environment? Who shapes how society understands health and harm? How do communities determine what information is credible and trustworthy? In today’s rapidly evolving media landscape where conversations about health\, the environment\, and politics are increasingly polarized\, the stories that shape public understanding matter more than ever. \nPeer foundations met for a 90-minute interactive workshop that discussed: \n\nSimple frameworks to understand narrative power building and what it means to fund narrative infrastructure\nActionable insights for funders on strengthening narrative strategies\nSmall group reflection to identify opportunities to advance narrative work\n\nFacilitator: Adam Hymans\, Managing Director\, Resource Media \n\nResources:  \nFunding Narrative Infrastructure 101 Slides

SUMMARY:Meeting the Moment to Prevent Violence: How Cross-Sector Collaborators Are Leading the Way
DESCRIPTION:What happens when hospitals start treating violence as preventable? Across the country\, health systems are pioneering models that connect clinical care to community violence intervention (CVI)\, and the early evidence is compelling. \nThis panel brought together three institutions at the forefront of this shift. Massachusetts General Hospital’s Gun Violence Prevention Center is training the next generation of clinicians to identify risk and navigate difficult conversations through case-based simulations. New research from Boston University offers findings from the first large-scale study of Boston Medical Center’s Violence Intervention Advocacy Program (VIAP)\, showing how in-depth interventions for young adult survivors of violence can reduce their risk of future involvement. And the Milken Institute’s survey findings discuss the funding landscape and strategies that sustain these approaches as federal support fluctuates. \n\nSpeakers Included: \n\nChana Sacks\, Co-Director\, Gun Violence Prevention Center at Massachusetts General\nJonathan Jay\, Associate Professor\, Boston University\nCrystal Miller\, Associate Director\, Milken Institute\nTalia Wright\, Vice President of Philanthropic Engagement\, Fund for a Safer Future (Moderator)\n\nResources and Recording:  \n\nFirearm Injury Prevention: Medical Student Education Program\nJay\, Jonathan et al. Jan 2026\, “Effects of a Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program on Community Violence in Boston\, Massachusetts.”\nKarandinos\, George et al. Jan 2026\, “Mental Health Outcomes in Children after Parental Firearm Injury.”\n\n \n

DESCRIPTION:Grantmakers In Health was pleased to convene the CEO Working Group in March for foundation leaders who have been in their position for less than five years. This was an opportunity to discuss the challenges faced as new CEOs\, with one another and with seasoned leaders in the field. \nThese calls are open to GIH Funding Partner CEOs\, Presidents\, Executive Directors\, or the highest-ranking health staff at multi-issue foundations. During these candid\, confidential conversations\, philanthropic leaders share information\, swap strategies\, raise concerns\, and ask for one another’s advice.

SUMMARY:SNAP Funder Working Group: Food Security Data Collection
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders and Grantmakers In Health have formed a funder Working Group to coordinate a strategic response to the SNAP cuts in H.R. 1. Recognizing the far-reaching implications of SNAP for food security\, health\, and economic equity\, this Working Group serves as an information hub and a strategic coordination space\, designed to help funders act quickly\, effectively\, and in alignment with one another. Previous Working Group calls have highlighted advocacy\, training and technical assistance\, and strategic communications opportunities for funders. \nOur Working Group Call focused on data collection opportunities following USDA’s decision to terminate the Economic Research Service’s (ERS) Household Food Security Survey. For more than 30 years\, this survey provided the nation’s most consistent measure of food security\, shaping our collective understanding of the drivers of food insecurity and informing key food and nutrition policy decisions. No existing data source offers the same level of insight\, and its loss will make it harder to assess the impacts of H.R. 1’s SNAP cuts. Experts from the Capital Area Food Bank\, Healthy Eating Research\, and the Urban Institute discussed why continued data collection—using consistent methods and metrics—matters and how funders can support this work.
