2025 Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy
Forging Partnerships for a Better Tomorrow
Solving large, complex societal issues not only compels funders to use their resources in new and creative ways, but requires them to build strong, lasting partnerships with a wide range of public and private stakeholders. As we mark the 60th anniversary of the Medicare and Medicaid Act and the start of a new administration, as well as reflect on 20 years of rebuilding since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the power of partnership stands as a key force for improving health for all.
The 2025 GIH annual conference is an important opportunity for funders to collectively explore innovative, multisectoral partnerships at the local, state, and national levels that advance health and equity. We’re planning sessions that highlight how funders effectively partner with diverse stakeholders, bring community voice and expertise to partnerships, and identify key learnings from these collaborations.
