November 11-13, 2024 | Washington, DC
We are excited to announce that the Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Fall Forum has been rebranded as the Health Policy Exchange. The new name reflects the multi-day conference’s purpose: to provide opportunities for health funders focused on policy to network with policymakers and other funders, exchange ideas and best practices, and identify opportunities for collaboration.
The theme of the 2024 Health Policy Exchange is Beyond the Ballot: Advancing Policy in a New Administration. Taking place just one week after the presidential election, we will discuss the outcome’s impact on philanthropy’s work advancing better health for all, delve into critical policy issues that affect the country, as well as share updates from the Hill.
Other topics include opportunities for cross-sector collaboration in public health, updates on health policy at the state level, philanthropy and the Supreme Court, the changing landscape of women’s health, and philanthropy’s role in supporting systems change.
We will also convene funder CEOs for a post-election conversation about navigating the new administration, including opportunities and challenges related to health equity. This dialogue will continue the discussion begun at the June 2024 Annual Conference and will solidify relationships among funder CEOs as we move forward collectively in pursuing our health missions. This session is open to funder CEOs only.
Health Policy Exchange takeaways include:
- Learn about the post-election landscape at the state and federal level
- Meet new partners and discuss how to collaboratively address shared goals
- Gain a deeper understanding of key policy topics, the main players, and issues to watch in 2025
