As the new Presidential administration begins implementing its agenda, the effects are being felt in communities across the country. The landscape is shifting rapidly, leading to questions and confusion. Philanthropy support organizations like Grantmakers In Health (GIH) are convening funders to try to make sense of fast-moving developments and help identify strategies for moving forward.
Besides organizing our own webinars and meetings, GIH is curating an ongoing list of philanthropy convenings focused on navigating the new administration. If you would like your event to be added to the list, please email GIH Communications Director Jeff Barrus.

In-Person Event
We are excited to announce that the 2025 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy, Forging Partnerships for a Better Tomorrow, will be held on June 16 – 20 in New Orleans, LA, at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans.
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.
Recognizing the 20th Anniversaries of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita at the 2025 GIH Annual Conference
Grantmakers In Health (GIH) will recognize the 20th anniversaries of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita as part of the 2025 GIH Annual Conference on Health Philanthropy, Forging Partnerships for a Better Tomorrow, on June 16-20, 2025, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Two decades ago, an unprecedented number of health funders partnered with community, government, nonprofits, and others to the Katrina and Rita response and recovery efforts, and we plan to incorporate as many of their voices and roles as possible in our programming.
Sponsor the Event
Mission-aligned organizations that are seeking visibility with influencers, leaders, and decisionmakers in health and philanthropy fields will find value from supporting the event, and will be recognized in many ways.
