Held annually in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, the GIH Health Policy Exchange is the largest convening of health funders working on policy. The multi-day conference provides attendees with information on current issues, access to leading thinkers, and facilitates connections with grantmaking peers. Presented via panel discussions, hands-on workshops, and unique opportunities such as GIH’s 2025 Hill Day, the Health Policy Exchange is a great opportunity to bolster attendees’ understanding of the health policy landscape.

Lauren LeRoy Lecture
The Health Policy Exchange features the Lauren LeRoy lecture, a lecture series established in honor of former GIH President and CEO Lauren LeRoy and her commitment to increasing communication between the worlds of philanthropy and policy. The honor carries a $5,000 honorarium, and is supported by grants from policy-engaged funders.
Last year's speaker was Keshia Pollack Porter, Dean of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
