Upcoming Webinars
Strengthening Maternal Mental Health in Rural Communities
Join us on March 6th, from 2:00 – 3:15 pm ET/ 11:00 am – 12:15 pm PT to explore how maternal mental health is showing up across rural communities, how states are engaging in this new initiative, and where philanthropic strategies can play a meaningful role to advance maternal mental health in rural communities.
The conversation will draw on perspectives from national rural health infrastructure, community-based organizations, and physician-led public health work across rural regions of the country. Speakers will reflect on persistent gaps and promising approaches, and highlight strategies funders can support to strengthen rural delivery systems and promote more accessible, culturally responsive care for mothers and families. The session will conclude with time for funder discussion and questions.
CEO Working Group Webinar: New CEOs
Grantmakers In Health is pleased to convene the CEO Working Group in March for foundation leaders who have been in their position for less than five years. This will be an opportunity to discuss the challenges faced as new CEOs, with one another and sometimes with seasoned leaders in the field. These calls are open to GIH Funding Partner CEOs, Presidents, Executive Directors, or the highest-ranking health staff at multi-issue foundations. During these candid, confidential conversations, philanthropic leaders share information, swap strategies, raise concerns, and ask for one another’s advice. Reach out to Ann Rodgers to learn more.
Roundtable Discussion for Health Funders’ Policy Staff
A growing number of health funders employ staff whose responsibilities focus exclusively or predominantly on public policy engagement. Do you lead your organization’s policy or government affairs work? During our roundtable discussion we connected with peers, explored pressing issues, and shared experiences to engage communities in setting funders’ policy priorities. Between calls, members interact with one another in GIH’s online learning community for policy staff.
