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.
