SUMMARY:Funder Briefing: Healthcare Access for Immigrant AANHPI Women+
DESCRIPTION:This webinar was hosted by Asian Americans/ Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy\, and co-sponsored with Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees\, Grantmakers In Health\, and the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum.  \nAs immigration enforcement intensifies and economic pressures mount under the newly passed tax bill\, immigrant Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women face growing challenges to accessing affordable and culturally responsive healthcare and safety net programs. The increase in workplace raids and fear of detention and deportation has profoundly impacted AANHPI immigrants that many refrain from leaving their homes to seek medical care\, go to work\, or even attend school\, deepening inequities in immigrant communities. This webinar brought together policy experts\, community leaders\, and funders to discuss the critical role of Medicaid in immigrant communities with an emphasis on the intersecting effect of immigration status\, gender\, economic strain\, and healthcare access.  \n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Mental Health Meets Firearm Safety: Innovative Strategies to Reduce Firearm Suicide
DESCRIPTION:Firearms are involved in 55 percent of suicides in the United States\, accounting for more than 27\,000 deaths every year as documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.  Yet this crisis remains largely invisible in public discourse. This webinar makes the case that the tools to act are already within reach. \nThis webinar brought together practitioners\, funders\, and public health leaders working at the intersection of mental health and firearm safety. We heard mental health systems can integrate firearm access screening across the continuum of care\, and why culturally responsive assessments are essential to making these approaches effective and equitable. We learned from Stanislaus County’s firsthand experience adopting this model and discussed funding strategies\, system changes\, and community partnerships that make this work possible.\n\n\nSpeakers Included: \n\n\n\nCuco Rodriguez\, Chief Strategist & Equity Officer\, Hope and Heal Fund\nRob Wilcox\, Executive Director\, Fund for a Safer Future\nRuben Imperial\, Behavioral Health Director\, County of Stanislaus\, CA\nBrian Malte\, Executive Director\, Hope and Heal Fund (Moderator)\n\n\n\nSlides and Recording:  \nMental Health Meets Firearm Safety Slides

SUMMARY:Values\, Voice\, and H.R. 1: When Should Foundations Speak Out?
DESCRIPTION:The stakes for health remain high in 2026 as implementation of H.R. 1 ushers in harmful changes to health and social safety net programs. Foundations are increasingly speaking publicly about the damaging effects of these and other federal actions on the health of communities. This webinar explored when and how to issue a public statement. Chrystal Okonta\, Director of FGS Global’s Health team\, discussed key factors when crafting a public statement such as urgency\, mission alignment\, and organizational capacity. Kerry Jones Waring\, Vice President for Communications at the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York\, shared the foundation’s decision process\, advice for crafting messages\, and managing feedback. \n GIH Communications – Public Statement and Advocacy (PP Slides) – HFWCNY \nValues\, Voice\, and H.R. 1: When Should Foundations Speak Out? – FGS Global Slides \nResources:  \nGIH Resource: GIH Crisis and Issue Management Playbook for Funders  \nGIH Resource: Survey Findings: Perceptions of Health Funders  \nStatement from HFWCNY: Response to President Trump’s 2026 State of the Union Address (Feb. 25\, 2026)   \nOp ed from HFWCNY: Opinion in Syracuse.com: Medicaid work requirements will hurt older adults the most (May 20\, 2025)

SUMMARY:Climate\, Health\, and Food: Empowering Communities to Work at the Intersections
DESCRIPTION:Health philanthropy likes to place its work into discrete buckets\, but these hard lines do not really exist in the world. The labels we place on issues –health\, climate change\, food security– are interwoven into the fabric of communities\, experienced at the same time by everyone. In communities\, intersectionality is not elective\, and it is both the name and the mode of action by which they respond\, adapt\, and win against the political\, social\, and economic challenges of our time. \nWe met with Environmental Health Watch and Sprout\, two communities that are successfully putting this mode of action into practice. They shared strategies on how they are responding to climate change\, health\, and food security at the same time\, showing what is possible when philanthropy stops treating these issues as separate and allows communities to truly work at the intersections.\nSpeakers Included: \n\nArianna Mack\, Program Manager of Healthy Communities and Climate\, Environmental Health Watch\nMina Seck\, Community Food Director\, Sprout\nJan Delatorre\, Program Office\, The Kresge Foundation (Moderator)\n\nSlides and Recording:  \nClimate\, Health\, and Food April 23

SUMMARY:Roundtable Discussion: Health Funders Communication and Policy Staff
DESCRIPTION:Grantmakers in Health hosted a second joint call for the GIH Policy Staff Learning Community and the GIH Communications Staff Learning Community. We discussed the importance of communicating about policy changes in meaningful ways that engage communities and partners. In this informal conversation\, we swapped strategies\, illuminated solutions\, and made connections. We also used the time to dig in on a topic that was raised during the January 27 call: supporting policy\, messaging\, or other work related to the upcoming elections (such as governors’ races\, mid-terms\, ballot initiatives\, etc.). \n  \n
