SUMMARY:2026 GIH Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy
DESCRIPTION:Complete Agenda Print Agenda Event Microsite \nThe 2026 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy\, was held on June 8 – 11 in Baltimore\, MD\, at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor. Every year\, GIH brings together the bright minds\, seasoned experts\, and innovative practitioners working in health philanthropy to discuss the important issues facing the field. \n\n\nReporting from the 2026 Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy\n\n\n\n\nPart 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 \n\n\nLife\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Health\nTwo hundred and fifty years ago America’s founders came together to say the current system of government was not working for them. This act sparked the birth of a new nation founded on principles of freedom\, equality\, and democracy. The document they signed clearly articulates the founders’ belief in the right to life\, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Health—and the ability to lead a healthy and productive life—is deeply intertwined with these ideals. Today\, cuts to critical health and social programs; attacks on freedom of speech; threats to non-profit organizations; and federal overreach threaten our fundamental freedoms as well as our health and well-being. The 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding is an ideal backdrop for us to come together and craft a vision for health that works for everyone. \nReflections on the Theme \nPlenary Session Videos\nLife\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Health  \nThe opening plenary of the 2026 GIH Annual Conference began with Joseline A. Peña-Melnyk\, Speaker of the House for the Maryland General Assembly. Then featured a panel discussion with: \n\nRichard Besser\, President and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\nCara V. James\, President and CEO of Grantmakers In Health and\nDr. Ibram X. Kendi\, Director of the Institute for Advanced Study at Howard University.\n\n \nTerrance Keenan and Andy Hyman Awards Luncheon \nTune in to be inspired by Gladys Vega of La Colaborativa as she was honored with the 2026 Andy Hyman Award for Advocacy and Mark Constantine of the Dogwood Health Trust as he was honored with the 2026 Terrance Keenan Leadership Award. \n \nGetting in Formation: Organizing for the Future \nDeepak Bhargava\, President of the Freedom Together Foundation\, DaMareo Cooper\, Executive Director of the Center for Popular Democracy\, and Joe Goldman\, President of the Democracy Fund delve into a discussion on the need for organizing. \n \nHow Can I Reach You? Building Trust Through Communication to Enable Change \nHow we share information\, tell stories\, and communicate across movements shapes our collective power to create change. The closing plenary will bring together award-winning storytellers\, organizers\, and advocates to explore how we can strengthen the information and communications ecosystem to sustain the work of health equity. Together\, we’ll examine what it takes to create a more connected\, resilient\, and effective infrastructure for mobilizing people and organizations toward the structural changes needed to achieve better health for all.

SUMMARY:Care and Work: Improving the Livelihoods of Family Caregivers and Care Workers
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is hosted by The CARE Fund and The John A. Hartford Foundation and Cohosted by Grantmakers In Health.  \nThe vast majority of family caregivers have jobs outside the home. Public and corporate policies need to be reshaped so working parents of young kids and family members caring for older and disabled loved ones can live dignified lives with economic security. Meanwhile\, professional caregivers struggle to make ends meet with low wages and meager benefits. This robust discussion on the state of care and work included Inimai Chettiar (A Better Balance)\, Jason Resendez (National Alliance for Caregiving)\, and Haeyoung Yoon (National Domestic Workers Alliance). \n\nDrawing on the data from Caregiving in the US 2025 report\, panelists explored both the support needed by family caregivers in the workforce as well as the need to improve the quality of paid caregiver jobs. \n\nSpeakers Included:  \n\nInimai Chettiar\, A Better Balance\nAnna Wadia\, The Care for All with Respect and Equity Fund\nRani Snyder\, The John A. Hartford Foundation\nJason Resendez\, National Alliance for Caregiving\nHaeyoung Yoon\, National Domestic Workers Alliance

SUMMARY:Leveraging Impact Investments to Address Affordable Housing
DESCRIPTION:Foundations are well-positioned to leverage impact investments to address affordable housing shortages by deploying mission-aligned capital that finances the development\, preservation\, and expansion of affordable homes while generating financial returns that can be reinvested in future community needs. Colby Dailey of Multiplier Advisors discussed how impact investments can generate both social impact and a financial return for foundations. Janisse Rosario Schoepp from the Health Foundation of South Florida and Sarah Lyman from Alliance Healthcare Foundation discussed how their foundations are strategically deploying investments to increase access to affordable housing and opportunities for homeownership. \nRecording\n \nGIH Housing Presentation Slides \nGIH 2026 Webinar 06 23 2026 Slides

SUMMARY:From National Data to Local Action: Improving Youth Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Improving youth mental health starts with strong data\, but not just clinical measures. Understanding how young people are feeling means capturing what matters most to them: belonging\, agency\, support\, and resilience. \n\n\nThis webinar explained how Surgo Health’s nationally recognized Youth Mental Health Tracker is generating new\, equity-focused insights into youth well-being and how Interact for Health −in partnership with the coalition Hopeful Empowered Youth (HEY!) and local funders −adapted that research to center local voices across the Cincinnati region. \nSpeakers discussed how this collaboration is filling critical data gaps by going beyond traditional mental health indicators to measure holistic well-being across diverse populations\, including  Black\, Hispanic\, LGBTQ+\, and economically disadvantaged youth. Attendees heard directly from HEY! coalition youth leaders who were involved at every stage of the data process to ensure concepts\, language\, and priorities reflect real youth experiences. Hey! coalition leaders shared how results will be used to shape mental health efforts in their community. \n\n\n  \nSpeakers Included: \n\nSarah Burgess(opens in new tab)\, VP of Healthcare\, Surgo Health\nKelley Adcock(opens in new tab)\, Senior Director of Data & Learning\, Interact for Health\nHEY!
