SUMMARY:From Intractable to Solvable: Narrative Change as a Strategy for Firearm Violence Prevention
DESCRIPTION:A two-part series on how storytelling shifts the frame and funders’ role in it. \nFirearm violence is a public health crisis\, but the story we hear often is of intractability\, “too entrenched”\, “politically frozen”\, “too big to move”. That framing suppresses both public will and philanthropic investment because a problem believed to be unsolvable rarely attracts the resources to solve it. This two-part series made a distinction that matters for how funders act. A story is a single account\, but a narrative is the deeper frame that tells audiences what every story means. Changing that frame is slow\, cumulative work\, and it is a long-term strategy. Part I examined why narrative change is hard and long\, and how solutions-focused journalism shifts public understanding of firearm violence and reframes the crisis as solvable. Part II shared examples of funder support around journalism\, data infrastructure\, and grantee stories as ways health funders can invest in the frame shift alongside their direct Firearm Violence Prevention grantmaking efforts. \n\nPart I: September 10\, 2:00-3:00 pm ET \nPanelists Included: \n\nJames Burnett(opens in new tab)\, Founder and Managing Director\, The Trace\nAbené Clayton(opens in new tab)\, Co-Director\, Association of Gun Violence Reporters\nEric Marsh(opens in new tab)\, Director\, Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting\n\n  \nPart II: September 15\, 200-3:00 pm ET \nPanelists Included: \n\nNancy Fishman(opens in new tab)\, Senior Director\, Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Philanthropies\nQuintin Williams(opens in new tab)\, Senior Program Officer\, The Joyce Foundation\nJessi LaRose(opens in new tab)\, Director of Strategic Relationships\, Missouri Foundation for Health\n\nRecording from Part I:  \n \n  \nRecording from Part II:

SUMMARY:Environmental Health\, Data Centers\, and the Case for Equity in the Southeast
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is hosted by Grantmakers In Health(opens in new tab) and co-sponsored by Appalachia Funders Network(opens in new tab)\, Blue Sky Funders Forum(opens in new tab)\, and Health and Environmental Funders Network(opens in new tab).  \nThe Southeast faces some of the nation’s most persistent environmental health challenges\, which are a product of decades of disinvestment\, discriminatory policy\, and regulatory failure. Now\, a new concern is emerging as the region has become a prime target for massive data center development. These facilities can use millions of gallons of water per day\, strain regional grids\, and compound existing health challenges. \nThis webinar opened with a grounding in the region’s environmental health landscape and what the data center build-out means for community health. The conversation then turned to a community leader\, whose work has reshaped national policy\, followed by a funder with investment in environmental health\, who shared what meaningful partnership and effective philanthropy looks like on the ground. \n\nPanelists Included: \n\n\nAdrienne Hollis(opens in new tab)\, Vice President\, National Wildlife Federation\nLaTricea Adams(opens in new tab)\, President\, Young\, Gifted and Green\nShilpa Joshi(opens in new tab)\, Director\, The Climate and Clean Energy Equity Fund\n\n  \nResources from the webinar:  \n\nNew York Times\, “How Meta Uses A.I. Data Centers to Avoid Billions in Federal Taxes”(opens in new tab)\nYoung\, Gifted\, and Green\, “Community Benefits Agreement v.s. Community Benefits Ordinance”(opens in new tab)\nNAACP\, “Reducing the Harm of Data Centers”(opens in new tab)\nGallup\, “Americans Oppose AI Data Centers in Their Area”(opens in new tab)
