Community-based organizations (CBOs) are often the best option for providing critical services to diverse communities in California, yet they frequently encounter obstacles to securing state contracts or grants that could support their mission. We’re excited to share ChangeLab Solutions’ new issue brief Unlocking California State Funding for Community-Based Organizations to Advance Health Equity, which highlights situations that many CBOs face when competing for state funds. It provides recommendations on how government entities can improve their contracting and grantmaking processes to make it easier for CBOs to advance heath equity.

For philanthropies seeking to do deep place-based work, it can be difficult to strike a balance between advancing foundation goals and shifting power to organizations on the ground.

With a new administration entering the White House in January, philanthropy is approaching a crucial crossroads. That is why we feel privileged to have TCC-er Jared Raynor at the Grantmakers In Health Policy Exchange 2024, sharing insights with colleagues about the work that needs to be done right now and moving forward.  Some highlights from Day One: 💡 Listening to J. Nadine Gracia from Trust for America's Health discuss a blueprint for strengthening public health, which outlines six priorities for the next administration. As an #evaluator, the final priority of protecting scientific integrity resonates especially strongly. 💡 The reminder by Adriane Casalotti, Chief of Government and Public Affairs at NACCHO of the necessity of philanthropy’s voice in protecting public health agency authority from being stripped away and responding to crises. 💡 "Philanthropy can bring people together that would never otherwise sit at a table together" Irfan Hasan of The New York Community Trust. 💡 It's not just policy, but how we communicate it- David Jordan, President of the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund advised that one of the most important things to think about is not simply the message, but where we deliver it. Looking forward to seeing what Day Two brings! #PublicHealth #Evaluation #Philanthropy #StrategicCommunications

When recruiting and working with a volunteer board, whether a formal foundation board of trustees or an informal philanthropy council, roles and responsibilities are often glossed over or poorly understood. Ensuring your board is engaged and leveraging their strengths and preferences can be a difficult and time-intensive task. Just getting to know your board members well enough to understand how they can best be utilized to advance your mission can take months and sometime years. To help you shorten this process and improve the board experience, you need to quickly understand each member’s preferences and skill set.

This #MinorityHealthMonth, let's bridge the gap! ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿 For far too long, rural communities (especially the BIPOC population) have faced unequal access to quality healthcare. At H.O.P.E. Collective, Inc. we want to help change that. This #MinorityHealthMonth isn't just about awareness, it's about action. Our call to action is that each person reading this post, start advocating for quality healthcare for yourself and those around you! Some ways to do this: make a list of questions to ask your healthcare provider for your next visit, keep up with your annual exams and keep track of medications. 🩺 https://loom.ly/5kdQW9E #HopeCollectiveInc #Education #BIPOC #HealthEquity #RuralHealth

Communities most affected by an issue often already know the best solutions. This interactive workshop from PHI’s Population Health Innovation Lab on Wednesday, June 26 will present examples of power ecosystems and their systems change successes, and explore the Public Health and Racial Equity (PHaRE) Model for Systems Change. Presenters will also discuss how direct service and advocacy naturally connect for systems change; why non-profits may find it challenging to do direct service and policy and systems change work at the same time; and more.
