Anchorum Health Foundation
“At Anchorum Health Foundation, our work starts by listening—understanding our communities’ strengths and challenges—and co-designing solutions driven by their voices. We know that every solution looks different. We pride ourselves on our adaptability. We can play many roles—leader, funder, convener, or supporter—depending on where we can make the greatest impact and what is being asked of us.”
What Do We Stand For?
At a moment when so much has been described as “unprecedented”, and so much of what we value is being attacked, we need to ask ourselves as individuals, organizations, and a field, what do we stand for? What values do we hold, and what will we do and say to defend them?

This resource provides an overview of the implications for employers of administration executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Let’s Take Courageous Steps Together in 2025
At the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, this has been a challenging year for North Carolina, where we live and work. Hurricane Helene devastated the western part of NC and the surrounding region, and we endured an election that divided our state and nation.
We also know that we are not alone facing the challenges of 2024 and those we will take on in 2025. Many of us in the Grantmakers In Health (GIH) community are wondering how to persevere through these uncertain times. At the Trust, we acknowledge the heaviness of the moment—because we anticipate policy changes that will negatively impact people who are already being left behind.
Mother Cabrini Health Foundation
At the heart of our work at the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation is a core belief in the dignity of all people. Our mission translates this core belief, which in our case flows from our commitment to Catholic values, but which is also affirmed by many outside this tradition, into specific actions. We exist to support and advance the health and well-being of precisely those New Yorkers whose dignity is at risk of being overlooked or denied and who too often encounter rejection or discrimination by people and systems. They are our focus, and it is a privilege to utilize the resources of this foundation in service to them.

Collaboration Across Government and Philanthropy
This Georgetown University Center for Public and Nonprofit Leadership report uses data from a recent Grantmakers In Health survey to examine how philanthropy is partnering with government to fill critical gaps.
Grantmakers In Health Funder Collaboration Survey Report
At a time of deep cuts to health and social services, disappearing public health data, rising health care costs, and resurgent infectious diseases, philanthropy faces an urgent challenge: protecting vulnerable communities and sustaining hard-won health gains. Meeting this moment demands meaningful community engagement, strong coordination among funders, and partnerships that extend beyond the philanthropic sector. Yet despite the importance of these relationships, little is known about how health funders work together. To help fill this gap, GIH conducted research in 2025 to examine collaboration among health funders, highlight successes and challenges, and identify opportunities to strengthen collective impact.
Advancing the Public’s Health: Current Philanthropic Approaches and Priorities for the Future
This GIH report is grounded in discussions with a diverse set of philanthropic and public health leaders about the current state of the field. It aims to assess how foundations view public health and their guiding frameworks, as well as to identify lessons learned and priorities for strengthening the public health ecosystem.
